The Sex Pistols are to play a one-off show at the Birmingham Academy in preparation for their appearance at the Isle Of Wight festival.
The John Lydon-fronted band will play at the venue on June 11, their first gig in Birmingham for 32 years. Tickets will go on sale this Friday.
The sold-out Isle Of Wight festival takes place on June 13-15 with the punk band closing the bill on the second night.
Kaiser Chiefs and The Police are confirmed headliners for this year's festival, while Lily Allen was forced to pull out due to delays with her new album.
