Billy Idol<\/a> kicked off his It’s a Nice Day to…Tour Again tour<\/a> in Scranton, Pennsylvania Friday night.<\/p>\n

For his set list, Idol played a mix of older and newer material. The evening began with “Still Dancing,” a track from his 2025 album Dream Into It<\/a>, while his encore featured several of his biggest hits, including “Rebel Yell,” “Hot in the City” and, as documented by @jimpowers10411 on YouTube, “White Wedding<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

What Else Does Billy Idol Have Planned for 2026?<\/p>\n

From here, Idol’s tour will continue along the east coast area. Then in September he’ll make his way to Las Vegas where he’ll perform a multi-night residency <\/a>at the\u00a0Fontainebleau. (All of his 2026 tour dates are listed below.)<\/p>\n

In November, Idol will be inducted into the\u00a0Rock & Roll Hall of Fame<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“There’s so many people who aren’t in who deserve to be in. You sort of think about things like, ‘Why would I be in?'” he said earlier this year<\/a>. “But I really did commit myself to this life, sort of a vocation. It’s something that I dreamed about doing since I was 7 years old and I fell in love with rock and roll.”<\/p>\n

Idol has been eligible for inclusion since 2007 \u2014 he was nominated last year but didn’t make the cut.<\/p>\n

“In a way, we have been building towards this throughout 2022 and 2023,” he continued. “Last year, we put an album out [Dream Into It], and now a documentary [Billy Idol Should Be Dead]. We’ve been building towards this, and it’s a perfect payoff. You couldn’t have dreamed it better, really. It’s absolutely perfect.”<\/p>\n
