Band extend residency at Brixton to three nights

Sex Pistols have added two extra dates to their forthcoming London comeback.

As previously reported on NME.COM the band are set to play Brixton Academy on November 8.

But the band have now announced plans to perform at the venue on the following two nights as well.

Tickets for the gig, which sold out within 10 minutes this morning (September 22).

Despite the overwhelming demand for tickets the band have been widely praised for not over charging for the gig, selling tickets around the £30 mark.

Meanwhile, NME.COM is organising a campaign to get the band's classic single 'God Save The Queen' to Number One.

The song was denied the top spot by the powers that be when it was originally released in 1977 because they didn't want the band's punk attitude interfering with the Queen's Jubilee that year.

As the single is being reissued on seven-inch vinyl to celebrate its 30th anniversary, we are calling on all fans to buy or download it during the week beginning October 8 and hopefully we can send it back up the charts.
