The third single from 'Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols', 'Holidays in the Sun' offered a more polished, albeit still abrasive, sound than their previous singles. The track was a deliberate provocation, using a holiday camp theme to explore darker socio-political commentary.
- The single reached number 5 in the UK charts.
- The B-side, 'Flyer', was an instrumental track.
- The song's music video was filmed at Arles in the South of France.
Sex Pistols were a foundational UK punk band, assembled by Malcolm McLaren and Steve Jones. They released only one studio album during their initial run.
