The 100 Club Punk Festival was a two day event held at the 100 Club, a (usually) jazz-oriented venue in Oxford Street, London, on the 20th and 21st of September 1976.
Arranged by Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren, the gig showcased not only the aforementioned band, but a number of other acts aligned to the at the time very new UK punk rock movement.
It also marked a watershed for the movement, when punk began to move from the 'underground' to being recognised by the 'mainstream'.

Around the time that punk's first epoch began to fade in the late-'70s/early-'80s, at least that particular incarnation, Siouxsie & the Banshees continued as a presence in the music industry.
The eerie, urban, and dark quality of early Banshees albums struck a chord among the alienated and macabre sub-sect of punk, soon to be termed "goths".
As goth descended from punk, Sioux was an influential figure in the emergence of both, and thus, achieved icon status among the two sub-cultures.

Following a showcase gig as part of London's first punk festival at the 100 Club in Oxford Street, the band was signed (for a large advance) to the major label EMI.
Despite a common misconception that punk bands 'couldn't play', the evidence of live recordings of the time reveal the Pistols to be a tight, competent and ferocious live band.
Conversely, it can also be argued that the Sex Pistols were a manufactured pop act in the vein of The Sweet, Mud, and other early-'70s 'hard rock' singles acts, inasmuch as their look and sound were in part innovations of Malcolm McLaren's.
