Billy Idol will be anything but idle this summer.
The legendary ’80s hitmaker just announced he’s striking out on a nationwide run from early August through late September that he’s dubbed ‘It’s A Nice Day To Tour Again.’
While out and about, the “White Wedding” singer will headline a pair of shows in New York. They’re scheduled to take place at:
Darien Lake Amphitheater
Darien Center, NY
Friday, Aug. 14
Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater
Syracuse, NY
Saturday, Aug. 15
Other Northeastern dates include gigs at Scranton, PA’s The Pavilion at Montage Mountain (Aug. 7) and Uncasville, CT’s Mohegan Sun Arena (Aug. 8).
If you’d like to see the 70-year-old live wire live, tickets are available for all North Americcan Billy Idol North American concerts.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for any one concert was $51 including fees on StubHub.
Tickets start at $61 including fees for his Syracuse show.
This outing comes on the heels of the release of the Rock Hall of Fame nominee’s ninth studio album “Dream Into It,” which hit shelves in April 2025. Notable tracks on the record include “77,” a duet with Avril Lavigne and the throwback rocker “Still Dancing.”
Last summer, the sneering icon took “Dream Into It” on the road and played arenas all over the world including a night at Madison Square Garden.
According to Set List FM, he played 16 songs at the Knicks’ home including fan favorites like “Rebel Yell,” “Dancing With Myself,” “Eyes Without A Face,” “Mony Mony” and, of course, “White Wedding.”
“Throughout the set, it was apparent that Idol was having a great time, and so was the audience. The 69-year-old rocker sounded and looked amazing as he belted out his classic songs, and shared anecdotes about New York City throughout his career,” Consequence wrote in a glowing review of the night at MSG.

Billy Idol new music
On April 25, 2025, Billy Idol released his ninth studio album “Dream Into It.”
And, after a few listens, we can confirm the one-of-a-kind vocalist still has the goods.
Highlights on the nine-track record include the soaring epic “77,” fist-pumping stadium anthem “Too Much Fun,” summery rocker “People I Love,” strummy lost New Wave bop “Gimme The Weight” and near spiritual “I’m Your Hero.”
He closes things with the party-starting epic “Still Dancing,” which shares more than a bit of musical DNA with “White Wedding.”
To hear for yourself, you can find “Dream Into It” here.
