UK Punk supergroup The Professionals were formed in 1979 by guitarist Steve Jones and drummer Paul Cook, both formerly of the Sex Pistols.
After the Sex Pistols officially split and broke ties with manager Malcolm McLaren, this line-up was resurrected as the Professionals and signed to Virgin Records, the same label as the Sex Pistols. It will be the first time that any of the original line up have performed in Hong Kong.
The Professionals’ latest album has been critically lauded and features guest performances from Steve Jones (The Sex Pistols), Duff McKagen (Guns N Roses), Billy Duffy (The Cult), Marco Pironni (Adam and the Ants) and Phil Collen (Def Leppard).
Support for the show is from fantastic Hong Kong Post-Punk noise heads David Boring and the Sludge Punk of Tracey Lords.
