50 Years of Punk – Sex Pistols feat Frank Carter at Budapest Park
A legendary night for punk fans
This summer, Budapest turns up the volume with a historic concert celebrating half a century of punk. On July 20, 2026, Sex Pistols feat Frank Carter will take over Budapest Park as part of their worldwide 50 Years of Punk tour. The British punk icons will be joined by fellow trailblazers The Damned, promising an unforgettable night of raw energy, rebellion, and pure rock history.
The icons who started a revolution
Formed in London in 1975, the Sex Pistols shook the foundations of modern music with their fearless defiance and unapologetic sound. Though they released only one studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks, it changed everything—channeling frustration and discontent into anthems that challenged authority and reshaped youth culture. Songs like Anarchy in the UK and God Save the Queen became rallying cries for a generation.
After their turbulent two-and-a-half-year career, breakups, and losses, the Sex Pistols’ legacy continued to inspire countless bands around the world. Now, with Frank Carter—known for his electrifying performances with The Rattlesnakes—taking the mic, the band is returning in renewed form, paying tribute to 50 years of punk attitude and sound.
