About this listen
Billy Idol has just set the rock world abuzz with the official announcement of his Summer 2025 North American tour alongside Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, cheekily named It’s a Nice Day to Tour Again, riffing on his iconic White Wedding lyric. This tour is structured in two legs, firing up April 30 in Phoenix and rolling into May across major cities, then picking back up August 16 in Philadelphia and wrapping in Los Angeles by September 25, making for an ambitious run across North America. Notably, highlights include a coveted stop at Madison Square Garden on August 20—The Garden itself teased fans on Instagram this week, warning limited tickets remain and stoking FOMO with thousands of likes flooding the comment section. The tour also has a philanthropic edge. Five dollars from every ticket sold for the grand finale at LA’s Kia Forum on September 25 will be donated to American Red Cross for Southern California Wildfire Relief, with Billy promising to personally match those contributions.
Fans in the Midwest already caught a glimpse of Idol magic at Tinley Park, Illinois, just days ago, and anticipation now bubbles for East Coast dates like the August 22 show at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland and August 26 in Bangor, Maine. These venues have been pushing out event details, but setlists remain a closely guarded secret, likely spurring more buzz as the opening nights approach. Idol’s presence on social media has stayed strong and relevant—a playful Instagram post from The Garden counted down the days to the NYC gig, while another viral reel showed Billy Idol being playfully pitted against artificial intelligence, adding a dash of tongue-in-cheek commentary to his ongoing cultural relevance.
In the press this week, Idol briefly stepped outside music, commenting on The Who’s final tour, admitting to WXHC and Sanilac Broadcasting that he hates to think about their farewell because of how much he loves and respects the band, reminding everyone of his status as a rock elder statesman. There has been no verifiable news of major new business ventures or projects beyond the tour, and no controversy or speculation about his personal life in the past few days, keeping the focus firmly on the music. At this moment, Billy Idol is owning late summer headlines, staged for yet another lap as a living legend, with ticket sites and venues echoing the message: catch him while you can.
