For the first time in nearly 30 years, Mick Jones will perform songs by The Clash live as part of a tour supporting the Hillsborough Justice Campaign.
This December, the Big Audio Dynamite member will embark on a series of live performances for the Justice Tonight Tour.
Jones expressed, “It was just a fantastic, fantastic thing. I was very pleased to be asked and it went so well, so we thought we’d might try and do some more.”
He will be accompanied by singer-songwriter Pete Wylie and Liverpool band The Farm during the six shows.
The tour will feature appearances from members of Primal Scream, including singer Bobby Gillespie, and more special guests are expected to be announced shortly.
Mick Jones has also been collaborating with Paul Simonon on a new biopic about the making of their iconic 1979 album ‘London Calling’, which remains one of the greatest albums ever produced.
The duo is serving as executive producers for the film, with playwright Jez Butterworth penning the script.
The film is being produced by Alison Owen, Lily Allen’s mother, along with Paul Trijbits of Ruby Film And Television.
Details regarding the cast are yet to be disclosed.
Additionally, a new biopic focused on The Clash’s late frontman Joe Strummer is currently in development.
