Billy Idol and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts are joining forces for a big North American tour. The tour is divided into two legs: the first leg kicks off on April 30th in Phoenix and runs through May 23rd in Toronto. The second leg starts on August 16th in Philadelphia and wraps up on September 25th in Inglewood, California.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, and there's a special cause attached to the Inglewood show at the Kia Forum. Five dollars from every ticket sold for this show will be donated to the American Red Cross to support Southern California Wildfire Relief. In a generous move, Idol has also pledged to personally match this donation.
To announce the tour, Idol, his guitarist Steve Stevens, comedian Matt Rife, and Joan Jett star in a fun video titled "It's a Nice Day…to Tour Again!" You can catch this announcement video on YouTube.
