Idol embarked last week on the first-ever Generation Sex tour in the U.K. and E.U. The punk supergroup, comprised of Idol and Tony James from Generation X as well as Steve Jones and Paul Cook from Sex Pistols. On this outing the super group will hit festivals and headline gigs around Europe, playing selections from each band’s extensive catalog. In addition, Generation Sex will play at the legendary Glastonbury Festival this weekend.

Idol continues his live road shows this summer with a handful of headline tour dates. His show in Kansas City earlier this spring showcased a career-spanning set featuring iconic hits and new music. He’ll be joined on the upcoming tour by his longtime band which includes close-collaborator Steve Stevens.

For 46 years, Idol has been one of the faces and voices of rock’n’roll. Between 1977 and 1981, releasing three albums with Generation X as their camera-ready frontman. In 1982, he embarked on a solo career that integrated the bold and simple lines of punk and rock’n’roll decadence. Last year, Idol released his latest project, The Cage EP. The new music follows Idol’s 2021 The Roadside EP, which received praise from fans and critics alike. In January, Idol was honored with the first Hollywood Walk of Fame Star of 2023. The ceremony included guest speakers Henry Rollins and Shepard Fairey.
