The legendary punk rocker Billy Idol is coming back to Las Vegas! He’s bringing his Roadside Tour 2022 to the Chelsea at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Fun fact, did you know Chelsea was the name of Idol’s very first band? He started with them as a guitarist in 1976.
But I think it was clear early on that Billy Idol didn’t belong in the back of the band. He left Chelsea soon after he joined, and started Generation X with his buddies. This time, though, Billy Idol found his rightful place as the lead singer. In 1982, though, is when history was made. When Billy Idol became a solo artist and released his debut album.
Idol‘s The Roadside album is the first release of original music in seven years. You will hear some of your classic favorites at the show as well as new hits from this album. Here’s what the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas says you can look forward to with the new music: “Billy Idol still makes gliding, thumping, cinematic songs about sin, redemption and the love of rock’n’roll…and that’s what you will find on ‘The Roadside’…Produced by Butch Walker (Green Day, Weezer, amongst many others), ‘The Roadside‘ takes Billy Idol into new but familiar waters full of color, power, atmosphere, attitude, and mystery.”
Guitarist and co-songwriter Steve Stevens, and longtime collaborator of Idol‘s, will be joining him on this tour. The Roadside Tour 2022 is landing at the Chelsea at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas in November. Here are the show dates:
Fri Nov 11 – Sat Nov 12 – Wed Nov 16 – Fri Nov 18 – Sat Nov 19
Doors open at 7pm every show night and the show starts at 8:30pm. Tickets start at $57 plus taxes and fees and all ages are welcome to come. Here’s the setlist of what you can expect at the show, from an earlier show on this tour. The shows at the Cosmopolitan may vary.
