In the audience were big names including Paul Weller , Shane MacGowan , Viv Albertine, and Vivienne Westwood, and the gig soon became one of the most storied punk gigs of all time.

The shows celebrate not only what punk was back in the ‘70s, but how the genre looks today.
Night one (September 20) will see Irish trailblazers Sprints take to the stage, following their two acclaimed studio albums, 2024’s debut ‘ Letter To Self ’ and 2025’s ‘ All That Is Over ’.
The show will mark one of the smallest venues they have played in a long time.

“We are absolutely honoured to be involved in commemorating one of the most important events in the punk movement,” the band shared.
“To play at the legendary 100 Club all these years later with the energy of the history in the room, it’s gonna be a really special night.” In keeping with the spirit of the 1970s punk scene, tickets for the upcoming shows will be the same price that they were back in 1976 – costing just £1.50 each.
The gigs are supported by Marshall and George Cox, and special guests for both dates will be shared soon.
