Punk graduate and MTV staple Billy Idol will head out on the road beginning in late March on a 15-date North American headlining tour ahead of his appearance at May’s Cruel World festival alongside a just-announced lineup that features Siouxsie, Iggy Pop and Love and Rockets.

The tour — on which Idol will be joined by his longtime band, including guitarist Steve Stevens — opens March 30 in Scottsdale, Arizona, and includes four dates in Florida and a number of shows in the midwest before Idol reaches the Cruel World festival on May 20.

Tickets for all of the shows go on sale at 10 a.m. local time Friday, Jan. 27.

Idol has released a pair of new EPs in the last two years, including 2022’s The Cage and 2021’s The Roadside. You can see the video for “Cage” below.
