Billy Idol is to perform at the Hoover Dam for the first time ever on April 8 in order to raise awareness for the drought issues affecting the western region of America. The exclusive show is only available to a select 250 guests with two luxurious VIP packages available including accommodations at the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas.
The iconic rockstar legend has been on a roll this year having received the first Hollywood Walk of Fame Star of 2023 and starring in the recent Workday Superbowl commercial. Idol is bringing his live show to a series of headline tour dates this Spring to perform his career-defining classic hits and selections from his recent works. He will also headline the Cruel World Festival with legend Iggy Pop.

The historical Hoover Dam is located outside Las Vegas on the border of Arizona and Nevada in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River. This performance will be the first concert ever to take place here in the nearly 90 year history of the American landmark. On February 6, Idol shared the announcement on Instagram and wrote that “The North American West is experiencing the worst drought to befall the region in over one thousand years, a crisis that will increasingly affect the day-to-day lives of millions around the world in a myriad of ways.”
The long-term drought plaguing western America has persisted with extreme conditions since its start in 2000, largely due to climate change. Idol continues, “This is a daunting environmental and human challenge that I’m committed to raising awareness of.”
