"Billy Idol is an absolute icon in the music world - one of those artists that people of all ages around the world know the lyrics to every song. It's an honor to have him back at The
Pearl at the Palms," said Palms Casino Resort General Manager Jon Gray. "The Billy Idol: Las

Vegas many times and its always been a blast. We can't stay away! Las
Vegas keeps us coming back for more. Let's make these shows at the
Pearl Theater at Palms Casino Resort the best yet!"
Billy Idol was an early architect of the sound, style and fury of punk rock. His 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 recognizable 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 40 singles in the U.S. and 10 in the U.K. including "Dancing With Myself," "White Wedding," "Rebel Yell," "Mony Mony," "Eyes Without A Face," "Flesh For Fantasy" and "Cradle Of Love."
Idol was responsible for some of punk rock's most memorable, literate and evocative moments, and created a pioneering new sound by bringing the spirit of '77 to the dance floor, going on to fashion an immediately identifiable musical blueprint that integrates club-land throb, rockabilly desperation and rock 'n' roll decadence.
More than 30 years after his groundbreaking Vital Idol compilation cemented the vibrancy of the dance-rock remix genre in the second half of the 1980s, Idol's Revitalized collection, Vital Idol: Revitalized, features 11 brand-new remixes of Idol's most classic and enduring hits. Lending their hands to the Revitalized proceedings are electronic dance luminaries Moby, The
Crystal Method and
Paul Oakenfold as well as current innovators including RAC, Tropkillaz, Shiba San, Juan Maclean and CRAY.
Idol also hosts an exclusive SiriusXM show, Billy Idol's Live Transmission, that can be heard on SiriusXM's 1st Wave, channel 33.For all
