Rock icon Billy Idol is making a thunderous return to the global music scene with the announcement of a brand-new album and an expansive European tour set to kick off in 2025 and stretch into 2026. Known for hits like Rebel Yell, White Wedding, and Eyes Without a Face, Idol is ready to deliver fresh music to his loyal fanbase while reigniting his legendary stage presence across some of Europe’s most iconic venues.
The forthcoming album, which has yet to be titled, marks Idol’s first full-length studio release in over a decade. Teased as a return to his classic rock roots with a modern edge, the new material is said to feature high-energy anthems, gritty guitar riffs, and the signature snarling vocals that turned Idol into a punk and rock legend in the ’80s. Longtime collaborator and guitarist Steve Stevens is also back on board, promising an authentic Billy Idol sound that blends nostalgia with evolution.
In tandem with the album announcement, Billy Idol has confirmed a massive European tour starting in Spring 2025, with new dates already added due to overwhelming demand. The tour will span major cities across the UK, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia, with several open-air and arena shows planned. Highlights include a headline slot at Germany’s Rock am Ring festival and two nights at London’s O2 Arena.
Presale tickets and VIP packages are expected to be available starting in late fall 2024, while general ticket sales will roll out shortly after. Fans can expect the setlists to include a blend of new tracks and timeless classics, all performed with Idol’s trademark intensity.
This new chapter in Billy Idol’s storied career reaffirms his staying power and continued relevance in today’s rock landscape. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer, 2025 and 2026 are shaping up to be unforgettable years for rock ‘n’ roll. Stay tuned for the official album drop date and the full list of European tour stops.
