The latest installments of Buzzcocks’ reissue series have been announced.

Last December, Buzzcocks frontman Pete Shelley died after suffering a heart attack. Prior to his passing, a reissue release show had been planned for June 21 at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The event will now serve as a celebration of Shelley’s life and accomplishments. Buzzcocks will be joined by various guest vocalists; the Skids and Penetration will perform as well.
