The Sex Pistols will play a special gig in Los Angeles in October as a warm-up to their English reunion tour.

The quartet will perform at the Roxy on Sunset Strip on Oct. 25 and tickets will not be on sale. Instead, fans will have to win them through a local radio station.

The seminal punk group has reunited for the 30th anniversary of its groundbreaking album, Never Mind the Bollocks — Here's the Sex Pistols, re-recording their single Anarchy in the UK.

The album is set to be re-released soon, with four of its singles due out on vinyl: God Save the Queen, Anarchy in the U.K., Pretty Vacant and Holidays in the Sun.

The group split in 1978 — with bass player Sid Vicious dying of a heroin overdose a year later  — and last performed together in 2003 on their Piss Off Tour.

Singer John Lydon, guitarist Steve Jones, bass player Glen Matlock and drummer Paul Cook are slated to begin a four-night stand at London's Brixton Academy in November, followed by a show in Manchester.

The Sex Pistols were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, but refused to show up, sending a rude note instead.
