このコンテンツについて
Billy Idol has been making major headlines this week, proving that at nearly 70, he’s not just a nostalgia act but a vibrant contender in today’s rock scene. On August 17 at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Idol and Joan Jett brought the house down, commanding a sold-out crowd and showing off the vitality of their co-headlining summer tour. Critics hailed the performance, with Rock Show Critique describing Idol as a dominating performer, bolstered by a tight-knit band and four new songs from his latest album, Dream Into It. Released in April, this is Idol’s first studio album in over a decade and signals a creative resurgence. The new material, including Still Dancing and 77, was seamlessly worked into the setlist alongside classics like Rebel Yell and White Wedding. Joseph Suto from Rock Show Critique observed, “This bill was a win-win for all involved... easily one of the biggest highlights on Live Nation’s summer of 2025 calendar.”
That momentum carried into an electrifying Madison Square Garden appearance on August 20, which Consequence covered extensively. They reported that Idol’s energy was undiminished as he powered through hits and new tracks, with Steve Stevens—his iconic guitarist—delivering show-stealing solos. A surprise highlight was Idol’s moving tribute to the recently passed Ozzy Osbourne, with guitarist Billy Morrison leading a crowd chant as Ozzy’s image appeared overhead. The Rolling Stones’ Gimme Shelter, sung with powerhouse backup Jessica Childress, was another standout—and proof that Idol is unafraid to tackle ambitious material alongside his own catalog.
Social media buzzed after the MSG gig, with Instagram lighting up with photos capturing Idol’s charisma and the crowd’s enthusiasm. One photographer posted that shooting Idol was “nothing short of hot in the city… tonight!” Another fan shared a concert throwback, marking the show as a full-circle moment since their first time seeing Idol and Jett back in 1982.
On the business side, promoters are using multiple radio contests, including at KSAN and I-95, to fuel ticket sales for remaining arena dates. The next big show is set for August 26 in Bangor, Maine at the Maine Savings Amphitheater, with stations hyping ticket giveaways and driving fan engagement.
While there’s some talk circulating backstage about Idol already planning another album and possibly other projects, no official announcement has been made—so this remains pure speculation. For now, Billy Idol’s tour and new album are cementing his place as a living legend, not just riding past glories but writing vital new chapters in rock history.
