Billy Idol<\/strong> is bringing his The Roadside Tour 2022, <\/strong>to the UK from 13th<\/sup> October. Killing Joke<\/strong> are delighted to be announced as special guests for the tour, after Television were forced to make a late withdrawal, alongside Billy\u2019s other tour guest Toyah<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Television are disappointed to announce: \u201cUnfortunately due to illness, we have to cancel the forthcoming UK tour with Billy Idol. We send our deepest apologies to any fans who have bought tickets.\u201c    <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Billy will be heading out with some new music and a stack of timeless classics for his first appearances in the UK since 2018 and will play 6 Arena dates. Tickets are available from www.aegpresents.co.uk\/billy-idol<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust when you think it\u2019s all over, I\u2019d been missing my brothers in Killing Joke and then this opportunity came up. Looking forward to seeing everyone next week, 1 days rehearsal and a secret gig somewhere in the U.K. Lets get stuck in\u201d\u202f<\/em>Jaz Coleman, October 22\u201d<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ever-popular\u202fToyah<\/strong>\u202fwill bring an extra sense of fun to the tour. Alongside a flourishing acting career, Toyah carved out a successful musical career with three top ten UK hit singles in the 1980s and the Gold-selling album Anthem<\/em>.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We\u2019re looking forward to having Killing Joke and Toyah join us in the UK<\/em>,” said Billy. “This is going to be an epic show!<\/em>” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cI am thrilled to be opening for Billy Idol on <\/em>The Roadside Tour,\u201d an excited Toyah commented. \u201cBilly is an icon whose music has thrilled millions worldwide and continues to do so. Billy has created a style of rock that has gone on to inspire generation after generation. \u2018Rebel Yell, \u2018White Wedding\u2019 and \u2018Mony Mony\u2019 are up there with the all-time greats. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
