ABOUT BILLY IDOL
For almost 50 years, Billy Idol has been one of the definitive faces and voices of rock’n’roll. Between 1977 and 1981, Idol released three albums with Generation X as their camera-ready frontman. In 1982, with guitarist Steve Stevens at his side, he embarked on a transatlantic/trans-genre solo career that integrated the bold and simple lines of punk and rock’n’roll decadence on songs like “Dancing With Myself,” “White Wedding,” Rebel Yell,” “Eyes Without A Face,” “Cradle of Love” and more. Touring consistently around the world and showing no signs of slowing down, Idol released Dream Into It on Dark Horse Records in 2025, earning praise from fans and critics alike.

With its sonic landscape encompassing everything from R&B to Funk to Brazilian Pop, the album opens on its title track: a left-of-center love song celebrating the thrill of defying expectation and following your heart’s desire. Next, on “Dance with a Stranger,” Lake Street Dive once again prove their undeniable gift for crafting feel-good songs with an illuminating message, simultaneously inducing a carefree euphoria and gently fostering empathy. The wildly cathartic “Walking Uphill” presents gripping meditation on the work of self-repair, while “Seats at the Bar” puts a sweetly playful twist on the classic love song.

All throughout Good Together, Lake Street Dive tap into the palpable camaraderie that’s fueled the band since their formation, ultimately delivering their most collaborative, expansive, and powerfully exuberant work to date.

Sir Rod Stewart CBE is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with more than 250 million albums and singles sold worldwide. His signature voice, style, and songwriting have transcended all genres of popular music—from Rock, Soul and R&B to the standards and Big Band Swing—making him one of the few stars to enjoy chart-topping albums in every decade of his five+ decade career.
Born in North London with Scottish roots, Stewart first made his mark in the 1960s with Long John Baldry, Steampacket, Shotgun Express, and later through seminal work with Jeff Beck and the Faces. He then launched a solo career that produced some of the biggest hits in music history, including “Maggie May,” “Forever Young,” “Rhythm of My Heart,” “Tonight’s the Night,” “I Don’t Want to Talk About It,” “You Wear It Well,” and “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy.”
The 2000s saw Sir Rod record five acclaimed volumes of his Great American Songbook series, pushing his career into uncharted territory and creating the biggest-selling ongoing series of new music recordings in history. His rekindled love of songwriting continued with the release of four studio albums of original songs beginning with 2013’s Time—a chart-topping record that reached the Top 10 in the U.S. and ten countries worldwide, including number one in the U.K., where it was certified double-platinum. In addition, Stewart revisited some of his greatest hits with You’re in My Heart: Rod Stewart with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. A timeless record which spent three weeks at number one, making it Stewart’s 10th chart-topping album—a milestone in an already remarkable career.
In 2024, Stewart released Swing Fever, his 33rd studio album and a collaboration with Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra. The sparkling salute to the timeless Big Band era debuted at number one in the U.K., giving Stewart his 11th career chart-topper and placing him alongside David Bowie, Taylor Swift, and U2 on the all-time list of acts with the most number one albums in the U.K.
Stewart’s One Last Time world tour, launched in 2024, is a global box office smash—ranked among the Top 20 Global Concert Tours of 2024—and continues with sold-out shows across North America, Europe, South America, and beyond. In Las Vegas, his record-setting 13-year residency Rod Stewart: The Hits became one of the most successful runs in Caesars Palace history, drawing hundreds of thousands of fans. Due to overwhelming demand, he has returned with The Encore Shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
Stewart’s extraordinary catalog includes ten U.K. number one albums, 31 U.K. Top 10 singles, 17 U.S. Top 10 albums, and 16 U.S. Top 10 singles. He has earned countless of the industry’s highest honors and awards including, two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, the ASCAP Founders Award for songwriting, Grammy™ Living Legend, Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, UK Music Hall of Fame, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, New York Times bestselling author, Lifetime Achievement Award, American Music Awards.
