The Best of Summer 2025: Billy Idol

It’s a Nice Day To…Tour Again!

So far, 2025 has been a blockbuster, busy year for the legendary Billy Idol. On the music front, Idol released his first new album of music in over a decade, with Dream Into It proving he still has all the chops. Also, on tap for 2025 was the re-release of several seminal Billy Idol records on vinyl, including Don’t Stop, Whiplash Smile, and Charmed Life.

But the biggest news for Billy Idol fans was the announcement of a summer blockbuster tour featuring special guest Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. The It’s a Nice Day To…Tour Again tour has become one of the hottest shows of the outdoor concert season, and we were lucky enough to catch Billy in action a while back when he hit up Charlotte, NC.

Now, when Billy Idol tours, you don’t just get Billy, you get to experience his world-class band as well: the one and only Steve Stevens on guitar, Billy Morrison on guitar and backing vocals, Stephen McGrath on bass and backing vocals, Erik Eldenius on drums, and Paul Trudeau rounding out the sound on keyboards as well as backing vocals. What a bunch! It doesn’t get any better than this.

Picture a huge wall of LED screens depicting a caricature of Billy Idol, then changing scenery throughout the night, with my favorite being a cityscape. The band came out, taking their requisite spots on the stage before Idol made his way to center stage, kicking off the night with “Still Dancing” off his latest record.

After all these years, Idol is still a vision of rock royalty, clad in a leather jacket and chains, with his most important snarl on his face. Nobody snarls better than Billy Idol, and the years have not changed that one bit.

More importantly, Billy Idol still sounds great, and with his band behind him, the sonic quality was excellent. It was a perfect song to begin the evening because Idol is still dancing. In fact, he hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down as he moved around the stage, fist in the air, getting the fans up front in an uproar.

This show was second to none as Idol and company ran through five new songs and all the hits the fans came to hear. Steve Stevens provided an amazing guitar solo midway through before Idol closed out the set with “Rebel Yell” as we all screamed “More, more, more!”

Much to our delight, Idol obliged the shouts of more, returning for a four-song encore which included my favorite song “Hot in the City” and ending with an extended “White Wedding.”  

What a show! Billy Idol is still at the top of his game. After taking most of June and July to head overseas, Idol is back in the States for the second leg of the tour. Don’t miss your chance to see the legend in action!

    If you bet an average AU$2 per spin, you’ll need ~4,500 spins to clear the playthrough.
    Deposit AU$100 and receive a 200% match bonus AU$200.
    Understanding wagering is essential when you chase bonus value.
    While Curaçao is not a tier-1 regulator, it enforces AML
    and account verification checks. If you prefer low risk, target regular reloads and cashback schemes to lengthen your playtime
    and accumulate comp points.
    Features include adjustable stakes, crisp graphics, and realistic gameplay, ideal for
    strategy enthusiasts. 95% of online casinos in Australia do not
    provide native apps, so Ozwin’s Android app is a notable feature for mobile
    users. IOS players can access the full functionality through their browser without an app.
    New players can claim up to AUD 4,000 + 100 free spins,
    spread across the first few deposits.

    G’day, mates, and welcome to the most comprehensive guide to Australian online casinos.
    Some Australian online casinos are legit and hold a valid operating license, while others are not.
    With over 2,600 gaming machines and countless table games, it’s the largest casino in the Southern Hemisphere.

    This does add a level of immersion to the game, but still – I prefer the real deal.
    The way these games work is that you’re shown a screen with a first-person point of
    view. Following the trend of gamification are first-person games like blackjack and craps, mostly developed by Pragmatic Play and ICONIC21.

    The best fast and instant withdrawal online casinos offer 5-minute
    ID verification checks that let you speed up withdrawals
    even more. Leading Aus casino online sites offer a wide variety of
    Blackjack games. If a site has all of these things and
    has earned a recommendation as part of our casino reviews, you can rest assured that it’s one of the best online casinos in Australia!

    Despite the development’s approval, the Millers Point Fund lodged legal action against the project in early August 2016 challenging the validity
    of the casino and aiming to have construction on the project halted.
    In November 2015, Packer expressed his frustrations over the
    delaying of the project from strenuous government planning laws.
    In November 2013, it was announced that Crown Sydney had received approval for the casino licence and place
    at Barangaroo. The government received a $100 million upfront fee for the licence, despite being offered $250 million with alternative tax arrangements which
    the steering committee’s economic advisor Deloitte calculated was a superior offer.
    The proposal drew widespread criticism from the Lord Mayor Clover
    Moore, Paul Keating, and former government architect, Chris Johnson. Following
    public backlash, the height of the tower was lowered to 159 metres (522 feet) and
    the length of the pier was reduced to 85 metres
    (279 feet).
    Pokies games available at The Star Casino include those from
    Australian gambling giant Aristocrat Leisure,
    but stretch to all the big names in the industry.
    On top of more than 150 tables games the Star, Sydney,
    also has hundreds of pokies games, accommodation and restaurants.
    The Star is a premier gambling venue in Sydney, with 100s of real money
    games available to customers in the NSW capital.
    There’s no lack of choice as you’re able to pick from a variety of luxury hotel rooms, including suites or penthouses.

    Für die ersten drei Einzahlungen im CrazePlay Casino gibt es
    einen Bonus von bis zu 2.500 Euro und 250 Freispiele.
    Die Glücksspielseite unterliegt der Gerichtsbarkeit von Malta und ist von der Malta Gaming Authority lizenziert.

    Im Sieger Casino kann der Willkommensbonus für die erste Einzahlung bis zu 200 Euro betragen, und Sie können weitere 100 Euro im Bereich Sportwetten erhalten.
    Möchten Sie sich mit der Regulierungsbehörde in Verbindung setzen, um ihr
    eine Frage zu stellen oder einen Streitfall zu klären? Dabei
    handelt es sich um Fachleute, die vom Gouverneursrat ernannt werden, und einer von ihnen wird zum Geschäftsführer der Behörde ernannt,
    um diese in der Öffentlichkeit zu vertreten. Die Malta Gaming
    Authority ist eine Regulierungs- und Aufsichtsbehörde, die eine
    ziemlich transparente interne Struktur hat. Um einen tieferen Einblick in den maltesischen Rechtsrahmen für Offshore Casinos zu bekommen, müssen deutsche Spieler verstehen,
    was die Malta Gaming Authority ist, was sie tut und welche Vorteile sie den Spielern bringt.
    Zunächst einmal sollten wir sagen, dass wir in keiner Weise mit der maltesischen Glücksspielbehörde verbunden sind.
