Billy Idol Announces 2016 Las Vegas Residency

Billy Idol has joined the growing list of rockers who've scheduled a Las Vegas residency.

The Las Vegas Sun reports that Idol is booked for nearly a dozen shows at the city's House of Blues at Mandalay Bay in 2016, spread out over a period of weeks between mid-March and mid-May. According to the report, Idol's "mini-residency" is happening on the nights that the room's regularly scheduled performer, Carlos Santana, is off.

Idol has confirmed the series of shows, which he's calling Billy Idol Forever, in a press release, saying, "Watch out, Vegas! We are planning a beast of a show that will rock and surprise my fans. Particularly those who adhere to the ‘what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas’ mantra!"

The Sun adds that Idol will be joined by guitarist Steve Stevens for the performances, extending an on-again, off-again partnership that dates back decades, and promises that the set list will be heavily stocked with hits and fan favorites from throughout Idol's discography.

Tickets are set to go on sale Nov. 13 with prices starting at $79.50, and will be available through the House of Blues as well as Ticketmaster. Visit Idol's website for detailed ticketing information, and check out the complete list of Billy Idol Forever dates below.
