Rock legend Billy Idol is returning to the road for It’s a Nice Day To…Tour Again! Fellow superstar Joan Jett & the Blackhearts will join Idol for all shows. Produced by Live Nation, the tour of arenas and amphitheaters kicks off at the Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre in Phoenix on April 30 and includes stops at an array of storied venues, including New York’s Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD, and more. See below for a complete list of dates.
Artist pre-sales begin Wednesday, January 22, at 9 a.m. local time, with local presales starting Thursday, January 23, at 9 a.m. local time. The general on-sale begins Friday, January 24, at 9 a.m. local time. Additional info and tickets will be available at billyidol.net/tour. Five dollars from every ticket sold for the Los Angeles show at Kia Forum will be donated to the American Red Cross to support Southern California Wildfire Relief. Billy Idol will also personally match this donation.
In anticipation of the upcoming tour, Idol stars in a short video featuring his iconic catalog. The clip also includes comedian Matt Rife, with cameos from longtime Idol collaborator and guitar player Steve Stevens and tourmate Joan Jett. Watch and share the video HERE.
Idol will soon share details of his forthcoming new LP, set for release later this year on Dark Horse Records.
Last year, Idol celebrated the 40th anniversary of his landmark sophomore album Rebel Yell with a Deluxe Expanded Edition, available now via Capitol/UMe. He also appeared at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, inducting Ozzy Osbourne alongside Jack Black, Jelly Roll, Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan, and others.
Idol recently released the concert film Billy Idol: State Line, a Vertigo Live production documenting his April 2023 show at the iconic Hoover Dam—the first-ever concert performed at the site. The film highlights the history and significance of the Hoover Dam and includes two unique sets of Billy Idol’s iconic hits: a full band concert at sunset with special guests that electrified and illuminated the surrounding Black Canyon, and an acoustic duo set on the roof of the powerhouse at the foot of the Hoover Dam, straddling the Colorado River directly on the Nevada/Arizona state line.
ABOUT BILLY IDOL
For 46 years, Billy Idol has been one of the definitive faces and voices of rock ’n’ roll. Between 1977 and 1981, Idol released three albums with Generation X as their camera-ready frontman. In 1982, he embarked on a transatlantic, trans-genre solo career that fused the bold simplicity of punk with rock ’n’ roll decadence. Touring consistently around the world for the last ten years and showing no signs of slowing down, Idol released The Roadside EP in 2021 and The Cage EP in 2022 on Dark Horse Records, earning praise from fans and critics alike.
ABOUT JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS
Joan Jett grew up in a time when rock ’n’ roll was off-limits to girls and women, but as a teenager, she promptly blew the doors of the boys’ club right off their hinges. After forming her band, The Blackhearts, in 1979, Jett became a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. She has had eight platinum and gold albums and nine Top 40 singles, including classics like “Bad Reputation,” “I Love Rock 'N' Roll,” “I Hate Myself for Loving You,” and “Crimson and Clover.” With a career spanning music, film, television, Broadway, and humanitarian efforts, Joan Jett remains a potent force and inspiration to fans worldwide. As a producer, she has overseen seminal albums, including Bikini Kill’s work and the Germs’ L.A. punk masterpiece GI. Alongside her longtime producer and music partner, Kenny Laguna, Jett co-founded Blackheart Records from the trunk of Kenny’s Cadillac after being rejected by 23 labels. Forty years later, Blackheart Records thrives as an entertainment company producing music, film, and television while continuing to champion emerging bands. Joan Jett & The Blackhearts tour worldwide, headlining alongside fellow rock legends like The Who, Green Day, Heart, and Foo Fighters. Bad Reputation, a documentary about Jett’s life, premiered to critical acclaim at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. For more information, visit joanjett.com.
