The Sex Pistols have announced that they are reforming for a one-off concert in November at London's Brixton Academy. Timed to coincide with the thirtieth anniversary re-release of their seminal album Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols, the concert date will be preceded by the re-issue of singles Anarchy In The UK, God Save The Queen, Pretty Vacant and Holidays In The Sun.

Already music magazine NME have shown their support for the return of the remaining members - John Lydon, Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock - by gearing up their readers to get God Save the Queen to number one on the charts, a position it failed to reach when originally released in 1977. Banned by Radio One, it is one of music's most legendarily apocryphal tales that the chart was rigged by jittery regulators who felt the Queen might not be amused at having her Jubilee celebrations sound-tracked by a fevered anthem to monarchy bashing.

This will be the band's first live date since their Piss Off Tour in 2003, although, Lydon, Jones and Cook did reunite earlier this year in Los Angeles to re-record Pretty Vacant for a video game.
