Billy Idol will perform on CBS-TV’s The Late Late Show with James Corden on Thursday, August 17.
The rocker will join The Who’s Pete Townshend for a short US run of his Classic Quadrophenia stage show next month.
Alongside Alfie Boe and a full symphony and chorus, the shows present the new orchestral version of the band’s 1973 concept album based around lead character Jimmy’s search for an identity amongst the mods and rockers in mid-60s Brighton.
In addition to stops in Lenox, MA, New York and Los Angeles, Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder will join the lineup for a September 13 date in Chicago, IL.
In October, Idol will play the final shows of his two-year residency at the House Of Blues Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.
“Billy Idol: Forever!” sees the rocker deliver tunes from throughout his career, including tracks from seminal British punk band Generation X and his solo hits.
Idol’s latest album is 2014’s “Kings & Queens Of The Underground.”
