As the band took to the stage, the crammed venue was just as hot and smelly as it would have been decades ago, with sweat dripping off the walls and ceiling.

Sex Pistols rocker John Lydon brands Donald Trump a ‘breath of fresh air'
Sex Pistols rocker John Lydon has branded Donald Trump a 'breath of fresh air'. The 69-year-old singer shocked fans when he started championing the widely-hated US president, and has now doubled down on his support for the former reality TV judge. He told when asked for his views on Trump: 'It might be hard for socialist Britain to understand but Donald Trump is like a breath of fresh air, because he's not a politician. That's it. 'I don't like the man, I don't care about the man, but he might create something interesting that as of up to now business as usual in politics has not done. Bring a wrecking ball, by all means, to it. 'A couple of years ago I was asked what I thought of him and I said I thought he was The Sex Pistols of politics. 'Then I tried to take it back and then I thought, 'No, actually Johnny, that sounds f****** right.' John also opened up about his support of the idea of UFC fighter Conor McGregor, 36, getting involved in politics. He said when asked if he agreed with Conor's recent statement the era of the politician is over: 'I'm in total agreement with Conor. 'He's the kind of fella I could sit and talk to for hours because he tells it as he sees it, so there's no (messing around) with him.' His remark comes after John admitted Conor is a 'little on the violent side'. The 'Pretty Vacant' singer appeared on 'The Michael Anthony Show' where he discussed his political views, grieving after the loss of his beloved wife Nora and his rocky childhood. Speaking about the issue of illegal immigrants living in the UK and Ireland, he said: 'Come on Conor' – referring to the Donald Trump-supporting fighter's rants on social media about Ireland's immigration laws. When host Michael asked him: 'Are you serious about the McGregor s***?,' John replied: 'I believe what he's saying when he says, 'The time for politicians has ended'. 'This is a nice slogan, but I'm not quite sure I'd like to follow him into the next situation, because he's a little on the violent side.' The rocker is still grief-stricken over the loss of his wife Nora Foster, who died in April 2023 aged 80, five years after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He said about his last days with her: 'She died so painfully. Gasping. 'They call it the death whistle.' John's band Public Image Ltd are on tour until August and tickets are on sale now, available from all venues and Ticketmaster.

Kneecap stage surprise gig after member charged
Irish language hip-hop group Kneecap have performed in central London a day after one of their members was charged with a terror offence. Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was pictured outside the 100 Club in Oxford Street on Thursday evening, after the band announced their surprise gig. Mr Ó hAnnaidh was charged by the Metropolitan Police after an incident on 21 November 2024 at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, where he allegedly displayed a flag in support of proscribed organisation Hezbollah. Kneecap said they have never supported Hamas or Hezbollah and would not incite violence against any individual. They said the video in question had been taken out of context. Metropolitan Police officers were pictured outside the Oxford Street event, which the band said on X had sold out in 90 seconds. The group from Belfast, who rap in the Irish language, said they would perform at the 100 Club on Oxford Street ahead of their headline slot at Wide Awake Festival in Brockwell Park, south London, on Friday night. In a post to social media, they said: "London. We're back. See you at The 100 Club tonight - tickets on sale in one hour at 4pm." The venue confirmed the gig in a social media post and said doors to the event opened at 19:30 BST. In a statement, the Met Police said a "policing plan" was in place for the gig to "ensure it passes off safely". "This is primarily in terms of managing visitors to the venue for what we understand is a spontaneous and sold-out event," they said. "There have been no issues or arrests." Mr Ó hAnnaidh had been charged by postal requisition and was due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 18, the force previously said. In a statement posted on social media, Kneecap said: "We deny this 'offence' and will vehemently defend ourselves."
