About
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.

Billy Idol continues to rock
by Shana K on 9/23/25Climate Pledge Arena - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5I have seen Billy Idol several times throughout the years and this most recent show did not disappoint! This show was one of the best I have seen of his!
Great energy concert
by NolP on 9/23/25Climate Pledge Arena - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5Just an amazing concert experience! Finally was able to see him and he had amazing energy.
Joan Jett was great. Billy Idol okay
by DR on 9/23/25Climate Pledge Arena - SeattleRating: 3 out of 5Joan Jett and the Blackhearts were really good. Sang her hits. Vi is was strong. Thoroughly enjoyed her over an hour set. Billy Idol was just okay. Three songs weee only guitar solos. Good but not what I came for. Billy’s voice not as strong as Joan’s. All in all he was maybe average. Love the Climate Pledge Arena. Sound was good as well as seats.
Billy Idol and Joan Jett.
by HotRodRuby on 9/23/25Climate Pledge Arena - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5Billy Idol and Joan Jett. Amazing show and great venue. Sound was perfect. Highly recommend.
Concert was great, beer prices not so much.
by Billy Idol on 9/23/25Climate Pledge Arena - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5Joan Jet was acceptable, but seemed tired. Billy Idol's show was totally top shelf!. Great performance. However, while I expect beer prices to be nuts, the Clear Pledge arena's prices were insulting. $18 for 16oz can of beer, and $28 for a bigger (22oz?). It is as if they didnt want anyone to actually but it. crazy...
Concert Rocked!
by Robert on 9/23/25Climate Pledge Arena - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5Billy was outstanding in every regard. His voice was incredible, sounding as powerful and sharp as it did in the '80s. Tracks like “White Wedding” and “Rebel Yell” had the crowd singing along like it was a scene from a classic music video, and Idol’s stage presence was magnetic, with that signature swagger that makes him a true rock star. A different highlight was the duet with one of the background singers. They performed The Stones Give Me Shelter, I was an amazing addition to the set.
Absolutely fantastic
by Bubbs on 9/23/25Climate Pledge Arena - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5Great anniversary show what a performance incredible we love you Billy keep doing what you’re doing. Rock on.
Please stop talking during concerts!
by Ski fast on 9/23/25Climate Pledge Arena - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5Was looking forward to Billy Idol with my girlfriend. What we got was an entire show with 4 loudmouth guys who talked the entire show. Talking louder than the band at 95db. So childish and rude to all those sitting around them. I hope I never have to experience this ever again.
Great show!
by Delaware Rocker on 9/23/25Climate Pledge Arena - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5Very nice show.....Billy & the band were amazing! I wish they had played an Ozzy song after their tribute, but the setlist was great even without it.
Fantastic Concert!
by Big Mac on 9/23/25Climate Pledge Arena - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5Just the best rock concert I have ever attended. Joan Jett and Billy Idol just blew the crowd away. We ROCKED.
It’s been a long time coming!!
by Hiram on 9/23/25Climate Pledge Arena - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5Seeing Billy Idol for the first time was awesome. I was supposed to see him with Journey but he had a medical condition. Wanting to see him throughout the years and never did. Growing up listening to him and seeing him in the “Wedding Singer” it has been a long time coming!!!! He definitely put on a great Concert. And Joan Jett was great too!!!!!
Great concert
by Me on 9/23/25Climate Pledge Arena - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5The concert was great. Good music loudest one I have been to so far this year. The opener really rocked it. The venue was nice easy to get to.
It was great, food/drink selection was good
by Freckles5959 on 9/23/25Climate Pledge Arena - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5Overall it was great, Billy sounded good and, for a 69 year old man, used the WHOLE stage in his concert, Joan Jett was awesome, too.
What a fantastic concert
by Chris on 9/23/25Climate Pledge Arena - SeattleRating: 4 out of 5I went to the climate pledge Arena in Seattle, and saw Billy Idol for the first time. I had seen Joan Jett several times in the past, and once again she did not disappoint. Billy even at 69 years old, put on a great show. The stage had great graphics and he sang all the songs that we know and love. Rebel Yell, white wedding, dancing with myself, blue Highway, mony mony, and hot in the city. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who was a fan of his music.
Wow
by Friar on 9/23/25Climate Pledge Arena - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5Billy still has it. Best concert I’ve seen in 30 years. Great mix of his classics and new music which was really good. Put that together with some backstory and you get a full night of entertainment. I go see this show again tonight.
Billy and Joan…Ageless!
by Geno on 9/23/25Climate Pledge Arena - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5Both these “older” rockers delivered their hits and a few covers with energy and style!
Love Old Rock
by Music Buff on 9/22/25Toyota Amphitheatre - WheatlandRating: 5 out of 5Sound system was good. Joan Jett and Billy Idol had great music. Video screens on the side need upgrade.
