Billy Idol will be joined by special guests and post-punk legends New Model Army.
This will be Billy Idol’s first UK visit since his arena tour of 2022. The world’s favourite rebel brings with him his regular touring band featuring his long-time guitarist and collaborator Steve Stevens alongside Stephen McGrath (bass, backing vocals), Billy Morrison (guitar, backing vocals), Paul Trudeau (keyboards, backing vocals) and drummer Erik Eldenius.
Idol says: “Every time we play Wembley we have an absolute blast and this summer will be no exception!”
About Billy Idol
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.
