Billy Idol Returns with New Album 'Dream Into It' and Announces 2025 Tour
February 26, 2025
The lead single from the album, 'Still Dancing', debuted on February 25, 2025, and reflects Idol's lifelong journey in the music industry, tracing back to his punk rock roots.
The song underscores the importance of belief in music as a guiding force throughout Idol's career, even during self-destructive moments.
Billy Idol is set to release his first full-length album in over a decade, titled 'Dream Into It', on April 25, 2025, marking a significant return to music after a lengthy hiatus.
The album will feature nine tracks, including collaborations with notable artists like Avril Lavigne, Joan Jett, and Alison Mosshart from The Kills.
'Dream Into It' is designed as a conceptual album that tells the story of Idol's life in chronological order, contrasting with the traditional focus on hit singles.
Idol describes 'Still Dancing' as a reflection on his early struggles in London, emphasizing his determination to pursue music despite skepticism from others.
Idol will embark on the 'It's a Nice Day to...Tour Again' tour starting April 30, 2025, with Joan Jett & The Blackhearts as special guests.
The tour will include performances at iconic venues such as Madison Square Garden and the Red Rocks Amphitheatre, with proceeds from the Los Angeles show supporting wildfire relief efforts.
Additionally, Idol has been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Class of 2025, with fan voting open until April 21, 2025.
Last year, Idol celebrated the 40th anniversary of his iconic album 'Rebel Yell' with a Deluxe Expanded Edition and a concert film documenting his historic performance at Hoover Dam.
The creation of 'Dream Into It' was inspired by Idol's work on an upcoming documentary with filmmaker Jonas Akerlund, which is still pending release.
At 69 years old, Billy Idol remains a prominent figure in rock music, known for his hits in the 1980s such as 'Dancing with Myself' and 'Rebel Yell'.
