Los Angeles Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez and the City of Los Angeles will present rock musician Billy Idol and his longtime guitarist Steve Stevens with an official decree declaring Friday, November 13, as Billy Idol Day. Following a formal presentation during a City Council session, the city will host a free public celebration on the steps of City Hall Park in Downtown Los Angeles featuring an acoustic performance by the duo alongside unannounced guest artists.
The recognition arrives on the eve of the pair’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2026, taking place Saturday, November 14, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Tickets for the induction ceremony are available through rockhall.com, with the televised event set to air in December on ABC and Disney+.
Ahead of the Los Angeles honors, Idol and Stevens will appear as special guests at Aerosmith’s October 29 concert at the Hollywood Bowl. The appearance follows the completion of the latest United States leg of Idol’s global tour, It’s A Nice Day To…Tour Again!.
Idol’s recent projects include the feature-length documentary film Billy Idol Should Be Dead, directed by Jonas Åkerlund, which is streaming on Hulu following its theatrical run. Additionally, his newest studio album, Dream Into It, is available on Dark Horse Records, alongside an upcoming audiophile vinyl reissue of his 1983 album Rebel Yell.
spanning nearly five decades, Idol first gained prominence as the frontman for the punk group Generation X before launching his solo career in 1982. Over his career, he has earned a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 52nd American Music Awards and released multiple hit singles, including “White Wedding” and “Eyes Without A Face.”
