"Billy Idol is an absolute icon in the music world – one of
those artists that people of all ages around the world know the
lyrics to every song. It's an honor to have him back at The Pearl
at the Palms," said Palms Casino Resort General Manager
Jon Gray. "The Billy Idol:
Las Vegas
2019 residency perfectly complements the diverse
range of musical acts we're booking at the Pearl and we know these
shows will resonate with our audience."
Says Billy Idol, "Steve
Stevens, my band and I have played Vegas many times and its
always been a blast. We can't stay away! Las Vegas keeps us coming back for more. Let's
make these shows at the Pearl Theater at Palms Casino Resort the
best yet!"
Billy Idol was an early architect of the sound, style and
fury of punk rock. His 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 recognizable 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
40 singles in the U.S. and 10 in the U.K. including "Dancing With
Myself," "White Wedding," "Rebel Yell," "Mony Mony," "Eyes Without A Face," "Flesh For
Fantasy" and "Cradle Of Love."
Idol was responsible for some of punk rock's most memorable,
literate and evocative moments, and created a pioneering new sound
by bringing the spirit of '77 to the dance floor, going on to
fashion an immediately identifiable musical blueprint that
integrates club-land throb, rockabilly desperation and rock 'n'
roll decadence.
More than 30 years after his groundbreaking Vital Idol compilation cemented the
vibrancy of the dance-rock remix genre in the second half of the
1980s, Idol's Revitalized collection, Vital Idol: Revitalized, features 11
brand-new remixes of Idol's most classic and enduring hits. Lending
their hands to the Revitalized proceedings are
electronic dance luminaries Moby, The Crystal Method and
Paul Oakenfold as well as current
innovators including RAC, Tropkillaz, Shiba
San, Juan Maclean and
CRAY.
Idol also hosts an exclusive SiriusXM show, Billy Idol's Live
Transmission, that can be heard on SiriusXM's 1st Wave, channel
33.For all Billy Idol information, visit BillyIdol.net.
