BIlly Idol still rocks it!
The Roxy was a great venue to see Billy Idol! Sound was amazing, felt like I was back in 1985! Seats were great, allowed a clear view of the stage. Would recommend this to anyone who loved Billy Idol back then and those who still love him now!

More!!more!!more!!
Billy Idol, Steve Stevens, Billy Morrison and the rest of the crew never fail to deliver and awesome energy packed show. If you haven’t ever seen them play then you have missed out on some of the best entertainment there is. Put it on your bucket list!

Billy Idol
Did not play all hits so not worthy. We were hoping for all the hits and some new songs

Tour performance good but Vegas better
This was the first time I’ve been to the new Coca-Cola Roxy theater. They did a nice job with it, but the large standing room set up is lost on me. That said, the House of Blues in Las Vegas had the same (albeit smaller) area, but the reserved seating was much more intimate, with the whole room feeling of markedly higher energy. The best seats in the house at the Roxy apear to be the balcony front tabletops for season ticket holders or at least are seats which didn’t show on the ticket pre-sale site.

Still awesome!!
Even at 62yo Billy still has it. Very interactive with the audience and very appreciative of his fans.

Great energy but weak setlist
Why not do all the hit songs? It was nice to hear White Wedding, Rebell Yell and Eyes Without a Face, but why not do Cradle of Love, To Be a Lover, Flesh for Fantasy and Sweet Sixteen? Even if he added these songs back into the setlist, he would still have plenty of time to include a few newer songs and a deep cuts.

Billy Idol was amazing!
It was my first time seeing Billy Idol and I will not forget it! He was energetic, kept everyone pumped up the whole show, he changed outfits a few times and sang a wide arrange of songs from his most popular hits to new ones off his latest album. The venue had great seating so there really isn’t a bad view from anywhere you sit. A warning for anyone who does have to get up to go to the restroom during any performance you attend here; we were informed you’d have to walk back out of the theatre onto the casino floor to find one. They do stamp your hand so you can reenter but you risk missing something so make sure to hit the bathrooms before the show starts!
That face, that name, that sneer. Rock icon BILLY IDOL, known for a plethora of hit singles including “Rebel Yell,” “White Wedding,” “Dancing With Myself” “Eyes Without A Face” and many more, returns this summer to perform at The Outer Fields, Western Springs on Sunday, January 19.
Sharing the stage for an epic Sunday afternoon and evening of live music are seminal New Zealand artists Stellar* and Elemeno P.
Artisanal beers, wines and great food, as well as fun attractions, will add to the festival ambience of the day. The event is GA/All ages so bring the family and settle in for a late Summer’s Sunday of great entertainment.
An early architect of punk rock's sound, style, and fury, Billy Idol remains to this day a true rock 'n' roll icon. From punk pioneer to global superstar, Billy Idol has left an indelible mark in popular music and remained a household name for over three decades. His style, music, and attitude have transcended time and trend. Born in 1955 in Stanmore, North London, Idol spent several formative years living on Long Island, NY as a child before returning to the UK and emerging as a central figure of the British punk movement. As part of the infamous Bromley Contingent and a fan of the Sex Pistols, Idol was inspired to front the pioneering British punk band Generation X from 1976 until the band’s split in 1981. Determined to break through in America, Billy Idol hooked up with guitar genius Steve Stevens and a crucial musical partnership was forged.
Idol’s lip-curling sneer and fist-pumping persona vaulted him into the mainstream as one of MTV’s first megastars, making him one of the most recognisable faces in pop music, while selling out arenas everywhere he played. He has sold 40 million albums while scoring numerous platinum albums worldwide, nine top forty singles in the US and 10 in the UK. Hit singles include ‘Dancing With Myself’, ‘Hot In The City’, ‘Eyes Without A Face’, ‘Rebel Yell’, ‘Mony Mony’, and arguably Idol’s most famed song ‘White Wedding’.
Legendary four-piece band Stellar*, fronted by the dynamic singer/songwriter/guitarist Boh Runga, are Sony New Zealand’s highest selling Kiwi band. Dominating the airwaves and charts throughout the early 2000’s Stellar* boast three Top 10 albums, 9 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards and a legion of fans throughout the country.
Known for their pulsating live performances, Stellar* return in 2020 to perform a series of special shows to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of their 5 star debut album MIX. That album sold 80,000 copies (5 x Platinum) and generated five top 20 singles – ‘Part Of Me’, ‘Violent’, ‘Undone’, ‘Every Girl’ and ‘What You Do (Bastard)’ – all massive radio singles and indelibly etched in the Kiwi music landscape. Expect a dynamic set featuring MIX in full, more hits, plus their killer version of Sharon O’Neill’s ‘Maxine’ – which took the 2017 Vodafone NZ Music Awards by storm.
In the early 2000’s Elemeno P erupted onto the New Zealand rock scene, seemingly from out of nowhere. A four-piece with straight-arrow, energetic, power-pop anthems. A succession of massive hits such as ‘Verona’, ‘Every Day’s A Saturday’, ‘Fast Times in Tahoe’ and ’11.57’ followed.
Equipped with a fun-loving attitude, Elemeno P soon became household favourites across the nation, releasing a trifecta of top tier albums in the space of six years.
The band’s debut album ‘Love & Disrespect’ was released in 2003, reaching number #1 on the New Zealand album charts and went on to sell triple platinum. Two more albums would follow, selling Platinum and Gold respectively and leading to the band taking home Best Group at the New Zealand Music Awards in 2008. Elemeno P make a welcome return to the stage in January 2020.
