In addition to the new documentary “Billy Idol Should Be Dead,” Idol is a nominee for The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2026.
Rock legend Billy Idol is returning this summer for an exclusive five-night engagement, “Billy Idol: Hot in the City,” at BleauLive Theater at Fontainebleau Las Vegas. Idol and his longtime band, including his guitarist and collaborator of 45 years Steve Stevens, will take the stage Friday, Aug. 28, Saturday, Aug. 29, Wednesday, Sept. 2, Friday, Sept. 4, and Saturday, Sept. 5, at 8 p.m.
Pre-sales will run ahead of the general on-sale on Friday, March 20, at 10 a.m. PT at FontainebleauLasVegas.com/entertainment/billy-idol/. For nearly 50 years, Idol has been one of the definitive faces and voices of rock ’n’ roll, integrating dance music with the bold and simple lines of punk and rock ’n’ roll decadence.
Idol’s many hits include “Dancing With Myself,” “White Wedding,” Rebel Yell,” “Eyes Without a Face,” “Cradle of Love,” “Mony, Mony” and more. Touring around the world and showing no signs of slowing down, Idol released “Dream Into It” on Dark Horse Records in 2025, earning praise from fans and critics alike.
On March 26, Hulu will release the new feature-length documentary film about his life, “Billy Idol Should Be Dead.” Directed by three-time Grammy-winner Jonas Åkerlund and produced by Live Nation Studios, the streaming release follows its theatrical release after debuting at Los Angeles’ TLC Chinese Theatre last month.
In addition to the doc, Idol is a nominee for The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2026. Fan voting is open now. See the full ballot and vote for Idol here.
