Billy Idol and Joan Jett announce co-headline tour dates and tickets go on sale soon

Tickets go on sale this week!

Billy Idol has announced a North American tour with Joan Jett - and this is how to get tickets.

The singer announced the run of shows billed as It's a Nice Day To... Tour Again!, which will take place in two parts.

The first will kick off on 30 April in Phoenix and then head to the likes of Houston, Tampa, Nashville and Toronto.

Idol and Jett will then head to Philadelphia on 16 August, with stops planned in New York, Milwaukee, Salt Lake City, Seattle and Los Angeles.

Tickets for the run are set to go on general sale from 9am local time via Ticketmaster.

To announce the tour, Idol filmed a skit featuring comedian Matt Rife, who plays a barista.

While ordering a drink at a coffeeshop, Idol is served by Rife, who suggests "it's a nice day for a white mocha", which prompts Billy Idol to consider hitting the road again.

Over the course of the next few days, Idol hears Rife's voice everywhere and eventually speaks to his therapist, portrayed by Joan Jett.

When he asks her for advice, Joan tells him "it's a nice day to tour again".

Fans can expect to hear the likes of "White Wedding", "Rebel Yell", "Eyes Without a Face" and "Dancing with Myself" from Idol and "I Love Rock 'n' Roll", "Cherry Bomb", "Bad Reputation" and "I Hate Myself for Loving You" from Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.

It's also been confirmed that $5 from every tickets for the show at the KIA Forum in California will be donated towards relief efforts for the Los Angeles wildfires.
