Billy Idol BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Billy Idol is making serious waves as he charges through his massive 2025 co-headlining tour with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, cleverly named Its a Nice Day to Tour Again. This trek has been dominating rock headlines all summer, with Idol showing zero signs of slowing down as he approaches his 70th birthday. The shows are pure spectacle, with Idol sprinting, jumping, and fist-pumping his way across the stage like its still the 1980s, as described by The Front Row Report. Most recently, on September 3, he rocked Red Rocks Amphitheatre, with a dynamic set that included classic hits and fan-favorite covers, keeping crowds of all ages on their feet. The tour now hits the Acrisure Arena on September 12, and local stations like Radio 94.5 FM in Palm Springs have been hyping up the event with ticket giveaways to eager listeners.
The big news is that this tour is not just another run down memory lane. There is a philanthropic angle: Billy Idol is matching every $5 donation made from each ticket sold to support Southern California Wildfire Relief, in partnership with the American Red Cross, as first detailed by AOL.
In August, Idol was seen smiling and mingling with fans in Philadelphia after a packed show at the citys TD Pavilion. His sartorial style and good spirits have fueled a fresh wave of social media mentions, with Parade reporting on the rare sighting and noting his uptick in high-profile public appearances. Recent months have seen him at the 76th Red Cross Ball in July, Englands Bludfest and Forever Now Festival in June, and earlier in the year, red carpets at the iHeartMusic Awards and the Tribeca Film Festival for the premiere of his candid new documentary, Billy Idol Should Be Dead, an event Variety and T2C Online described as electrifying, with audiences giving him and his band a roaring ovation for both the film and their live set.
On the business front, Billy Idols management team will be honored at next months Personal Managers Hall of Fame gala in Las Vegas, as reported by Variety.
As for social buzz, Instagram and radio have been jumping with excitement over the current tour and his continued collaborations with longtime guitarist Steve Stevens. According to recent posts by Live Nation and Idol himself, the tour is selling out major venues and drawing multi-generational crowds.
No major scandals or controversies have surfaced. There are rumors online about another potential festival or expanded tour in South America after Vegas, but these remain unconfirmed by any primary sources or Billys official channels. For now, Billy Idol is living out loud, on stage and on screen, and loving every minute of it.
