Billy Idol<\/a> announced 17 new shows starting in August.<\/p>\n The freshly added dates will kick off Aug. 7 in Scranton, Pennsylvania and are presently set to end Aug. 23 in Raleigh, North Carolina.<\/p>\n Tickets for Billy Idol: It’s a Nice Day to…Tour Again<\/em> will go on sale Friday (April 10) at 10 A.M. local time. VIP presales will begin Wednesday (April 8) at 2 P.M. local time. More information is available at Idol’s official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n The “Rebel Yell<\/a>” hitmaker was already set to light up Las Vegas<\/a> with his Hot in the City summer residency. That engagement will crank up the watts at the Fontainebleau for five shows Aug. 28 through Sept. 5.<\/p>\n Fans have been waiting patiently for their chance to see Billy Idol Should Be Dead<\/em><\/a>, the documentary about the ’80s icon’s life and rise to fame that began screening at film festivals in 2025. They finally got their wish in late March when the documentary made its debut on Hulu.<\/p>\n Idol was also nominated again<\/a> this year for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame<\/a>. As he told UCR, inductees like Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>, had an important impact on his own career.<\/p>\n “I saw Ozzy when I was 12 or 13. It was like one month before the\u00a0first Black Sabbath album<\/a>\u00a0came out in England,” he recalled. “I was sitting there watching Ozzy and his tassels were touching me during the gig, because we were right at the front.”<\/p>\n “That was the music that was really inspiring us. Things like “Paranoid<\/a>” went on\u00a0 inspiring us into punk, you know. Those guys were sort of leading the way,” he added. “We watched them putting their music together and then later on, that’s what we sort of did in punk. We did our own version of our own scene and sort of took music on, just like they did.”<\/p>\nWhere Else is Billy Idol Playing in 2026?<\/h3>\n
