BILLY ID
Billy Idol’s stop is part of the U.S. leg of his “Live! 2018” Tour and includes festival appearances at KAABOO, BottleRock Napa Valley, and the Foo Fighters’ own Cal Jam.
His lip-curling sneer and fist-pumping persona vaulted him into the mainstream as one of MTV’s first megastars, making him one of the most recognizable faces in pop music, while selling out arenas everywhere he played. He has sold 40 million albums while scoring numerous platinum albums worldwide, nine top 40 singles in the U.S. and 10 in the U.K. including “Dancing With Myself, “White Wedding,” “Rebel Yell,” “Mony Mony,” “Eyes Without A Face,” “Flesh For Fantasy,” and “Cradle Of Love.”
Idol was responsible for some of punk rock’s most memorable, literate, and evocative moments and created a pioneering new sound by bringing the spirit of ’77 to the dance floor, going on to fashion an immediately identifiable musical blueprint that integrates club-land throb, rockabilly desperation, and rock and roll decadence.
He returned to the spotlight in the fall of 2014 with two high profile releases that marked the latest chapter in the long and remarkable story of a musician, an inventor, a survivor, a father, a son, a man who returned from the brink, and a rebel whose yells made the mainstream sit up and pay attention.
Idol’s New York Times bestselling autobiography “Dancing with Myself” was released in 2014 is an electric, intelligent, brutally honest and entirely self-written account of Billy Idol’s journey to fame. He has also made movie appearances in “The Doors” and “The Wedding Singer.”
