The all star cast speaks volumes too, with Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams playing Pamela Rooke (aka Jordan) and Toby Wallace portraying Steve Jones. Ansoon Boon will portray the bands vocalist John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) with Louis Partridge playing Sid Vicious.

Boyle stated, “It is the detonation point for British street culture… where ordinary young people had the stage and vented their fury and their fashion… and everyone had to watch & listen…and everyone feared them or followed them. The Sex Pistols. At its centre was a young charming illiterate kleptomaniac – a hero for the times – Steve Jones, who became in his own words, the 94th greatest guitarist of all time. This is how he got there.”

Jones’ memoir takes you through his upbringing with all the uncensored parts – climbing up a tower in Battersea Power Station and stealing David Bowie’s amps at his ‘Ziggy Stardust’ tour. The stars memoirs include his later life when he went Tee-Total in LA, describing himself as a “a semi-retired sexual deviant who doesn’t really act out so much any more”. Now, the Academy-Award winning director will begin filming these stories from the 7th March 2021, with no dates yet set for premieres.

The series will include the global controversy that occurred with the bands album ‘Never Mind the Bollocks – Here’s the Sex Pistols.’ The album is hailed as the one of the most influential works of all time, where it was ranked number.38 Greatest Album of All Time in 2013 by NME.  The single ‘God Save the Queen’ is an anarchists anthem, being banned by the BBC and many other independent radio stations incase of causing offence to the monarchy. Major retailers such as W.H Smiths and Woolworths also banned selling the single, which has been said to spur people to buy the record even more, due to its ‘naughtiness’. Boyle describes this as “the moment that British society and culture changed forever,” leaving us eagerly awaiting the arrival of, what will undoubtedly be, an epic biopic.

The tour will have a few extra dates added which were originally supposed to take place this year. This includes shows at Leeds’ Brudenell Social Club and Brighton’s Chalk, which would’ve happened in April and September of this year but have unfortunately been cancelled due to the current COVID-19 pandemic.

In a Facebook post regarding the announcement of the tour, the band also left an optimistic message for their fans.

Unfortunately, the pandemic has also meant that the seven-member band have had to put their music on hold during the past few months, as they have not been allowed to work together in a studio. Although, they have reassured fans that there should be more news to follow on this shortly.

Black Country, New Road were previously known as Nervous Conditions and made a few changes to the band after their lead singer was accused of sexual assault in 2018. The original singer left the alternative band which allowed Black Country, New Road to come to life.

Since then, the band have released two singles named ‘Athens, France’ and ‘Sunglasses’. The latter is a 9 minute long track, which shares the bands unique talents and sounds. Andy Savours, the producer of the track, spoke about the song in an interview with Loud and Quiet, and says “I was pretty blown away by the ambition and the power of the sound they were making. Often bands with multiple members and unusual line-ups can be sonically messy and confused, particularly early on, but they sounded so focused and compact – like one raging beast. Even though ‘Sunglasses’ is a nine-minute epic there is no waste or excess.” Fans can be sure to hear these songs live again in the new year.

The band’s 2021 tour will begin in January at Brussel’s Rotonode and will eventually reach the UK at Cambridge’s Junction 1 in February. Tickets will be available from Monday 29th June for those signed up to their mailing list and will be on general sale from Thursday 2nd July.
