Billy Idol

Rock ‘n’ roll legend Billy Idol, recently nominated for the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame, returns to the UK for a very special date at the OVO Wembley Arena on Tuesday 24^th June 2025 joined by special guests New Model Army. This show comes two days after Billy’s appearance at the Forever Now Festival at The National Bowl, Milton Keynes. These are Billy’s only UK appearances in 2025.

For close on half a century, Billy Idol has been one of the faces and voices of rock ’n’ roll, with an artistic resumé to match his iconic image. Having emerged as the camera-ready front man for Generation X, between 1977 and 1981, Idol forged his legendary status with three albums that made positivity, emotional depth, and high pop synonymous with punk rock. In 1982, Idol embarked on a remarkable transatlantic/trans-genre solo career that integrated clubland throb, wide-screen depth and drama, rockabilly desperation, the bold and simple lines of punk, and rock ’n’ roll decadence.

Embracing the new MTV music channel, videos for White Wedding, Rebel Yell and Eyes Without A Face established Idol as one of the iconic performers of his generation, a position he still holds today.

Most recently Billy Idol has shown that he has lost none of his early fire with two outstanding, and critically acclaimed, EPs: The Roadside (2021) reflecting on his near-fatal motorcycle accident of 1990 and The Cage (2023).  Watch out for details of new studio album soon.

In February 2025 Billy Idol was nominated onto the ballot for induction into the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame.
