Rock legend Billy Idol’s first full-length album of new music in over a decade, Dream Into It, is out now on Dark Horse Records. Dream Into It includes performance and co-writing contributions from Idol’s longtime guitarist and collaborator Steve Stevens, plus appearances by Avril Lavigne, Joan Jett, and Alison Mosshart of The Kills. It was produced by Tommy English (Kacey Musgraves, blink-182, BØRNS, K.Flay). See below for a complete track list and album art, and stream or purchase the record HERE.
In celebration of the album’s release, Idol will perform his latest single, “77,” featuring Avril Lavigne, on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! on April 28. Idol recently debuted the track alongside a Spencer Ramsey–directed animated video; watch or share the video HERE.

Alongside the upcoming album, Idol and Stevens were recently nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025, with inductees to be announced soon. Idol is also set for the premiere of the new documentary film Billy Idol Should Be Dead at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 10. Directed by three-time Grammy winner Jonas Åkerlund, Billy Idol Should Be Dead is a feature-length documentary tracing the life and career of the punk pioneer turned rock ’n’ roll icon. Through never-before-seen archival and personal interviews with Idol, his family, peers, and collaborators, the film delves into his emergence as a prototypical punk rocker, his meteoric rise as a global superstar in the MTV era, and the myriad challenges Idol overcame not just to survive, but to remain one of the most beloved figures in rock ’n’ roll—almost fifty years into his career. Additional details and tickets are available HERE.
Additionally, Idol is returning to the road for the It’s a Nice Day To…Tour Again! Fellow superstar Joan Jett & the Blackhearts will join Idol on all dates. Produced by Live Nation, the run of arenas and amphitheaters kicks off at the Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre in Phoenix on April 30 and includes stops at storied venues such as New York’s Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD, and more. Tickets are available at billyidol.net/tour; see below for a complete list of dates. Five dollars from every ticket sold for the Los Angeles show at the Kia Forum will be donated to the American Red Cross to support Southern California wildfire relief—Billy Idol will personally match this donation.
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. With Steve Stevens at his side, Idol has toured consistently around the world for the last decade. Showing no signs of slowing down, he released The Roadside EP in 2021 and The Cage EP in 2022 on Dark Horse Records, earning praise from fans and critics alike.
