The Sex Pistols have revealed that they may perform new material at this summer's Isle of Wight Festival.

The reformed '70s punk stars headline the Saturday night at the three-day event, which takes place on June 12-15.

During the band's recent reunion gigs at London's Brixton Academy, LA's Roxy Theatre, and Manchester's MEN Area, the group didn't play any new songs.

However, drummer Paul Cook has revealed the veteran rockers are planning to play new tunes, despite the geographical difficulties of working together.

He told eGigs: "There's talk of new material. The only problem is that it's a bit hard to work on anything as John [Lydon] and Steve [Jones] are in America, and Glen [Matlock] and I are in the UK. So, it's a case of finding the time to get together.

"We might not pull together an album but hopefully there will be some new stuff in time for the summer."
