That face, that name, that sneer. Rock icon BILLY IDOL, known for a plethora of hit singles including “Rebel Yell,” “White Wedding,” “Dancing With Myself” “Eyes Without A Face” and many more, returns this summer to perform at The Outer Fields, Western Springs on Sunday, January 19.
Sharing the stage for an epic Sunday afternoon and evening of live music are seminal New Zealand artists Stellar* and Elemeno P.
Artisanal beers, wines and great food, as well as fun attractions, will add to the festival ambience of the day. The event is GA/All ages so bring the family and settle in for a late Summer’s Sunday of great entertainment.
An early architect of punk rock's sound, style, and fury, Billy Idol remains to this day a true rock 'n' roll icon. From punk pioneer to global superstar, Billy Idol has left an indelible mark in popular music and remained a household name for over three decades. His style, music, and attitude have transcended time and trend. Born in 1955 in Stanmore, North London, Idol spent several formative years living on Long Island, NY as a child before returning to the UK and emerging as a central figure of the British punk movement. As part of the infamous Bromley Contingent and a fan of the Sex Pistols, Idol was inspired to front the pioneering British punk band Generation X from 1976 until the band’s split in 1981. Determined to break through in America, Billy Idol hooked up with guitar genius Steve Stevens and a crucial musical partnership was forged.
Idol’s 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 recognisable 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 forty singles in the US and 10 in the UK. Hit singles include ‘Dancing With Myself’, ‘Hot In The City’, ‘Eyes Without A Face’, ‘Rebel Yell’, ‘Mony Mony’, and arguably Idol’s most famed song ‘White Wedding’.
Legendary four-piece band Stellar*, fronted by the dynamic singer/songwriter/guitarist Boh Runga, are Sony New Zealand’s highest selling Kiwi band. Dominating the airwaves and charts throughout the early 2000’s Stellar* boast three Top 10 albums, 9 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards and a legion of fans throughout the country.
Known for their pulsating live performances, Stellar* return in 2020 to perform a series of special shows to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of their 5 star debut album MIX. That album sold 80,000 copies (5 x Platinum) and generated five top 20 singles – ‘Part Of Me’, ‘Violent’, ‘Undone’, ‘Every Girl’ and ‘What You Do (Bastard)’ – all massive radio singles and indelibly etched in the Kiwi music landscape. Expect a dynamic set featuring MIX in full, more hits, plus their killer version of Sharon O’Neill’s ‘Maxine’ – which took the 2017 Vodafone NZ Music Awards by storm.
In the early 2000’s Elemeno P erupted onto the New Zealand rock scene, seemingly from out of nowhere. A four-piece with straight-arrow, energetic, power-pop anthems. A succession of massive hits such as ‘Verona’, ‘Every Day’s A Saturday’, ‘Fast Times in Tahoe’ and ’11.57’ followed.
Equipped with a fun-loving attitude, Elemeno P soon became household favourites across the nation, releasing a trifecta of top tier albums in the space of six years.
The band’s debut album ‘Love & Disrespect’ was released in 2003, reaching number #1 on the New Zealand album charts and went on to sell triple platinum. Two more albums would follow, selling Platinum and Gold respectively and leading to the band taking home Best Group at the New Zealand Music Awards in 2008. Elemeno P make a welcome return to the stage in January 2020.

I was beyond the moon. Billy and Joan were amazing loved it. I would follow the tour if I could. Thank you for one of the most magical evenings ever.
Joan Jett and Billy Idol show was absolutely awesome! Both sets were amazing and both performers can still bring it! Joan Jett and Billy Idol sounded great. I highly recommend seeing this show if you have the chance!
A fantastic show. Billy Idol looked and sounded great. The band was in the pocket all night. High intensity and a lot of fun. Plus, as always, The Mann is a special place to see a show.
Billy Idol and Joan Jett both were amazing! What a fabulous show. I especially enjoyed the tribute to Ozzy and the Give Me Shelter rendition which were totally unexpected surprise! A "must-see"concert of the year!
Billy and Joan rock! Joan Jett and the Blackhearts are solid and have an amazing stage presence. Billy Idol and Steve Stevens brought the stage down! Rocking all his hits with a mastery of stage performance made for an evening my wife who has wanted to see this man for over 30 years is still humming! Steve’s guitar capability is beyond solid and his solos really meshed their performance together like a rock quilt! I’m already looking for another Billy Idol show to go to! A master class in rock and roll! Thanks!
I was thrilled to finally get the chance to see Billy Idol live in concert. Had such a good time. Joan Jett and Billy Idol put on a good show and were very engaging with the crowd.
Billy is a legend. He put on an incredible show. Steve Stevens and the back up singers were amazing too.
Joan always puts on a great show! She mixes it up with music from the Blackhearts and the Runaways. I've seen her 4 times and she never disappoints. Billy rocks! How hasn't his voice changed? How is that even possible? His energy and the show were fantastic! His voice, the visuals, the backup singers, his tribute to Ozzy Osborne, special guests, and we won't even talk about how good he looks. Ahem... Just saying. I definitely recommend catching the concert. EVERY TIME Joan or Billy are in town, I can guarantee you that I will be picking up some tickets!
This show was absolutely amazing! The fact that the two of them are in their 60s and still sound as good as they do it’s unbelievable. They put on a great show and I highly recommend it to anyone.
He was great as expected . His voice was strong as ever . He had a 4 song encore which you don’t get much anymore did not disappoint . Joan Jett was a little disappointing her volume was way off we could hardly hear her to bad we have seen her before and always liked her to bad. But Billy killed it.
Billy put on an awesome concert! He keeps the crowd engaged and leaves them wanting more more more!!! I was disappointed that there was no encore and msg was super quick to start breaking things down. I haven’t been to one of these concerts in a while, but I remember last time I saw him in MA, he had a couple of encores and played for what seemed like a longer time! In the end Billy hasn’t lost his touch and is very in tune with his audience 🫶🏻 Go see for yourself!!!
Joan jet opened and was really good. But I really enjoyed Billy idol. And his guitarist: Steve Steven’s blew me away. All the performers were excellent musicians and showmen.
Billy Idol knocked it out of the park and over the highway. It was that good. This guy is a living legend. My kids were floored. They had never seen anything this cool. I will personally never forget this show. Rock on.
Fantastic night! Parking was easy peasy. Getting in the venue also easy. Joan Jett started right at 7:30. Billy was phenomenal. He took the stage at 9pm and played a fab 90 minute set. Steve Stevens awesome guitarist. Billy sag all his hits and some new things. Ready! Steady! Go! Was my favorite and bright back fin memories!
Awesome time awesome experience Joan Jett and the Blackhearts wow! Then Billy Idol did it up and finished loved it
Overall it was a good concert and I thought he did really good for his age
Overall it was a good concert and I thought he did really good for his age
Great seats great venue great musicians best place ever
Was the first time seeing Billy. Excellent! Always a buckets list show for me! Definitely will see him again. Saw Joan for my first concert in 89 with Robert Plant. She still rocks too.
While I get this is the day and age we live in, seeing guys in khaki tactical gear and holding assault rifles outside the venue where thousands of people are entering and exiting sets a tone that is unpleasant. I'm not sure if there is a more subtle way of securing the facility but this seemed a little extra and a lot off-putting. If this becomes the common site I may stick to smaller venues with less intimidating security measures and avoid arenas all together.
