Rebel on the Road: Billy Idol Plots 2023 North American Tour Dates

ROCK AND ROLL stalwart Billy Idol has announced a North American tour featuring a mix of headlining dates and festival shows.

The trek will kick off March 30 in Scottsdale, Arizona, at Arizona Bike Week at the Rockyard, and wrap May 20 with a previously-announced set at the Cruel World Festival in Pasadena, California (other headliners include Iggy Pop, Siouxsie, and Echo and the Bunnymen). In between, Idol will play a mix of theaters and amphitheaters in cities like Denver, Orlando, Atlanta, Baltimore, Cincinnati, and St. Paul.

Idol has spent the past couple of years releasing new music after a seven-year drought that began following the release of his 2014 LP Queens of the Underground and ended in 2021 with his EP, The Roadside. Last year, he followed up The Roadside with another EP, The Cage, which featured Idol and his longtime collaborator, guitarist Steve Stevens, working closely with producer Tommy English.
