In a post that sparked a flood of comments and grabbed the attention of the British media, Gallagher revealed how listening to one of the most groundbreaking albums ever, 1977’s Never Mind the Bollocks, transformed his perception of music. “I remember when I first laid eyes on this record, I thought it was [a Ouija] board. Then I heard it, and all heaven broke loose!“ Gallagher wrote, adding that today’s bands need an attitude and sound resembling this punk masterpiece if they want to make their mark on music history.
Gallagher continued to express his love for the Sex Pistols throughout the evening, sharing iconic tracks like “God Save The Queen,” “Pretty Vacant,” and “Bodies.” Fans on X immediately reacted to Gallagher’s post, with one user responding to the question, “What do you think about Frank Carter being the Sex Pistols frontman?” by saying, “I think he’s doing a fantastic job.” Another fan added, “I saw them last summer… Don’t miss them if you get the chance!” Anyone who has witnessed the latest iteration of this legendary punk band will likely agree, as Carter’s energetic style, unique stage presence, and punk ethos embody the very principles of the genre.
It’s worth noting that Liam Gallagher performed at the EXIT Festival in 2017, dazzling audiences with his hit songs and signature style. This show will remain etched in the audience’s memory for years to come, particularly for the rare rendition of the iconic “Wonderwall,” which he reserves for only the most special occasions.
This summer, the energy and charisma of the Sex Pistols promise to soar to new heights as they take the stage for the milestone 25th EXIT Festival. With Frank Carter up front, the legendary punk band will deliver an unforgettable blend of rebellious sound and contemporary punk rock expression. On Sunday, July 13, the Pistols will perform on the festival’s Main Stage, revisiting the tracks that laid the foundation of the punk movement — this time with a fresh twist.
