Sex Pistols, sans Johnny Rotten, will play 'Never Mind the Bollocks' in Minneapolis
The Sex Pistols, or at least a version of the Sex Pistols, are coming to The Fillmore on Oct. 7, the band announced on Friday. It will be the band's first North American tour in 22 years.
Though, this won't be a classic lineup reunion. The current formation features three founding members, guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook, and bassist Glen Matlock, who was replaced by Sid Vicious in 1977.
Unlike past reunions, singer Johnny Rotten, aka John Lydon, is not part of this tour. Instead, the Sex Pistols will be fronted by 40-year-old singer Frank Carter (Gallows, Pure Love), as they were during recent UK gigs.
On this tour, they'll be playing Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols in its entirety, as well as other songs.
Lydon has previously expressed his unequivocal disdain for this current incarnation of the band. "I've been shocked how awful it is," he recently told Louder Than War. "It just seems like they've rented a puppet and there it is. It is truly karaoke, I think, with really mediocre results."
For Jones' part, he told Guitar.com that he and Lydon haven't spoken since 2008. "I wish him all the best. I really do," Jones said. "We had a great time when we were young, and it was life-changing for all of us. But after the court case with Pistol it wasn't even worth asking John [about the reunion tour]. I don't think he was interested.'
Tickets for the show are on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 4. A presale will be held on Wednesday, April 2, with the code "DANCE."

‘Omniscient Reader' Tops The Korean Box Office And Sets Off Global Buzz
'Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy' has topped the Korean box office. The number one film in South Korea should come as no surprise. Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy earned $1,212,632 in its first week, according to the Korean Film Council. The film opened on July 23 and quickly surpassed the competition, which included the films King of Kings and The Fantastic Four: Four Steps. Distribution rights to the film have so far been sold to 113 countries including the U.S., Japan, Canada and Germany. The film began its rollout in Taiwan and will have its North American and Canadian release on Aug. 1. Films based on popular web novels already start with a loyal if exacting audience and Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy was inspired by the popular 20-volume web novel Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, which had 240 million views. Not only are the novel's fans buying tickets, but the fantasy action thriller has an A-list cast, which includes Ahn Hyo-seop (Business Proposal, Dr. Romantic) and Lee Min-ho (Pachinko, The King: Eternal Monarch). Ahn recently gained international recognition by voicing the role of Jin-woo, leader of the Saja Boys in the animated Netflix hit KPop Demon Hunters. Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy is his first feature length film and it offered him a chance to act with Lee, an actor he admired growing up. Lee Min-ho stars in 'Omniscient Reader.' The cast also includes Chae Soo-bin (The Rebel, I'm Not a Robot), Shin Seung-ho (A-Teen, Alchemy of Souls), Nana ( Glitch, My Man Is Cupid) and the k-pop groups After School and Orange Caramel), and Jisoo, the most-followed Korean actress on Instagram, (Newtopia, Snowdrop), from the k-pop group Blackpink. Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy is directed by Kim Byung-woo (The Terror Live, Take Point), who also co-wrote the screenplay with Lee Jung-min. The film is produced by Won Dong-yeon for Realies Pictures, the studio behind the Along with the Gods film franchise. The story follows Kim Dok-ja (Ahn Hyo-seop), who is the only reader of an obscure web novel titled Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse. Dok-ja, who loyally read the story for 10 years, is not a fan of the ending, so he sends an angry letter to the author, calling it the 'worst novel ending ever." Can he possibly do better? The fantasy storyline offers him a chance. The novel suddenly becomes reality and its omnipotent hero Yu Jung-hyeok (Lee Min-ho) appears before Dok-ja. As the only living human who knows how to survive in the world of the novel, Dok-ja strives to write a new ending. In the process Dok-ja learns the difference between being a protagonist and a reader. Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy is released by Capelight Pictures, a Berlin-based international film distributor. Capelight Pictures began releasing foreign films in North America and the UK in 2019.

Paul Gallagher, brother of Oasis' Liam and Noel Gallagher, charged with rape: Reports
Paul Gallagher, the older brother of Oasis musicians Liam and Noel Gallagher, has been charged with rape and multiple instances of physical abuse following a police investigation, according to multiple reports. Gallagher was charged with rape and three counts of sexual assault, London's Metropolitan Police said in a statement, according to The New York Times and BBC. The man also faces three counts of intentional strangulation, two counts of making a threat to kill, assault causing actual bodily harm, and coercive and controlling behavior. Authorities said the charges stem from a 2024 investigation into alleged offenses the occurred between 2022 and 2024, according to the Times and BBC's reporting. An unnamed woman, who is reportedly involved in the case, is receiving support from specially trained officers. USA TODAY has reached out to the Metropolitan Police for comment. Gallagher is expected to make an appearance at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Aug. 27, per the outlets. He denies all accusations against him, Gallagher's law firm Carson Kaye Solicitors said in a July 28 statement. "Paul Gallagher has been charged with a number of offences all relating to a single complainant," the statement read. "Mr. Gallagher has consistently engaged with the police throughout their investigation and always strongly denied the allegations made against him. He looks forward to clearing his name, but as there are now ongoing legal proceedings, our client is unable to comment further." Gallagher's legal troubles come as his famous brothers have been back on the road for Oasis' long-awaited reunion tour, which kicked off July 4 at Cardiff Principality Stadium in Wales. The superstars are scheduled to bring the tour to North American fans on Aug. 24 with a show in Toronto, followed by performances in Chicago; East Rutherford, New Jersey and Pasadena, California. USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Liam and Noel Gallagher for comment. While Gallagher has kept a lower profile compared to his rock 'n' roll siblings, he has made several TV and film appearances in support of his brothers' musical careers, including the 2016 documentary "Oasis: Supersonic" and the 2019 film "Liam Gallagher: As It Was." Gallagher also coauthored a 1998 biography, "Brothers: From Childhood to Oasis: The Real Story," which discussed Liam and Noel's early life and rise to fame.

Stevie Nicks released a new single with Lindsey Buckingham. See her on tour
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. In 1973, a young Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham toured the American South in support of their album 'Buckingham Nicks.' The ten-track record didn't make much of a splash on the airwaves and they were dropped from their record label. However, rumor has it, Mick Fleewood allegedly overheard the duo's song 'Frozen Love' and was so impressed, he brought them on to join Fleetwood Mac. Now, more than a half-century later and countless accolades later, Nicks and Buckingham are re-releasing their debut that made their name. On Sept. 19, the Rock Hall of Famers will reissue the lost classic, sourcing from the original analog master tapes. Prior to that, fans can hear the powerful lead single 'Crying In The Night' here. Interestingly enough, this news coincides with Stevie Nicks' forthcoming North American tour. While there is no confirmation whether or not 'The Reigning Queen of Rock and Roll' will perform tracks from 'Buckingham Nicks' — or if Lindsey will join her onstage — the best way to find out is live. As of now, tickets are available for all 17 upcoming Nicks concerts, including her gigs at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on Friday, Aug. 8 and Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall on Saturday, Oct. 18. Even if she doesn't deliver 'Crying In The Night' or any of the other songs from 'Buckingham Nicks,' fans can expect Fleetwood Mac classics, fan favorite solo cuts and carefully selected classic rock covers, based on our findings from past shows at Set List FM. 'Hope to see you out there,' the 77-year-old songstress shared via Instagram. For more information, our team has everything you need to know and more about Stevie Nicks' 2025 North American tour below. Stevie Nicks 2025 tour schedule A complete calendar including all tour dates, venues and links to buy tickets for all upcoming Stevie Nicks concerts can be found below. Stevie Nicks set list As a double Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee for her work with Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist, super fans are likely left wondering what Nicks will play from her vast catalogs when they see her live. Thanks to the trusty Set List FM, we're here to quell any confusion and give you an idea of what she'll likely belt out at the show of your choosing. Enjoy: 01.) 'Outside the Rain' 02.) 'Dreams' (Fleetwood Mac song) 03.) 'If Anyone Falls' 04.) 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around' 05.) 'For What It's Worth' (Buffalo Springfield cover) 06.) 'Gypsy' (Fleetwood Mac song) 07.) 'Wild Heart' 08.) 'Bella Donna' 09.) 'Stand Back' 10.) 'Free Fallin'' (Tom Petty cover) 11.) 'Gold Dust Woman' (Fleetwood Mac song) 12.) 'Leather and Lace' 13.) 'Edge of Seventeen' Encore 14.) 'Rhiannon' (Fleetwood Mac song) 15.) 'Landslide' (Fleetwood Mac song) Stevie Nicks new music Ahead of the release of 'Buckingham Nicks,' the twosome released the strummy, sublime 'Crying In The Night.' Fans of Fleetwood Mac will instantly warm to the sound; the harmonious track would fit right in on 1975's 'Fleetwood Mac' or '77's 'Rumours.' Sure, its production is a skosh bit rougher around the edges but that only adds to its scratchy '70s charm. If you couldn't guess, we can't get enough of this one. To hear for yourself, you can find the endlessly listenable, deceptively simple 'Crying In The Night' here.
