Lucca Summer Festival, English punk legends: Billy Idol, Tony James, Steve Jones, Paul Cook

English punk legends Billy Idol and Tony James of Generation X and Steve Jones and Paul Cook of Sex Pistols

An extraordinary new musical project, which brings together the two bands that have defined the boundaries of punk, in playing the great classics of their repertoires. On the one hand the music of the Sex Pistols, the most anarchic and controversial, agitators of the counterculture of the 70s, only one studio album, today a milestone in world music, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols, and a revolutionary force capable of becoming a legend until transforming punk into a global cultural phenomenon. On the other hand, the repertoire of Generation X, Billy Idol’s first group and among the first bands to have the merit of having transformed punk rock into a mainstream phenomenon, thus paving the way for all their successors.
