The jaw-drooping lineup of May’s Cruel World festival was unveiled this week, and we’re thrilled to announce we’ve got a pair of tickets to give away.

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.

The Cruel World festival will return to Southern California in 2023, promoters announced today, with a lineup that includes Siouxsie, Love and Rockets and more.

After a quick sellout of the first date, Morrissey this afternoon announced he’ll play a second concert at the Hollywood Bowl this November with opener Billy Idol, a pair of shows that come about a week before the release of his 11th solo album, Low in High-School. Tickets go on sale next Tuesday.

This week’s new releases include new studio albums from Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore, Billy Idol, Half Man Half Biscuit, Inspiral Carpets and Eurythmics’ Annie Lennox, plus reissues from The Pop Group and a six-disc box set of recent material from the reunited Dexys.
