English musician and singer-songwriter Joe Jackson, famed for his 1979 hit with his first release, Is She Really Going Out with Him?
First achieving fame in the 1970s when emerging from the London punk rock scene as the lead singer of the group Generation X, rock legend Billy Idol has become a global household name, and he comes to Manchester in June.
Billy, whose name Billy Idol was inspired by a schoolteacher’s description of him as “idle”, has had a solo career of international recognition. He was a lead artist during the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” in the United States and is most revered for his massive singles White Wedding, Rebel Yell and Eyes Without a Face.
Now 66, Idol is back out on tour with his sensational band for some more thumping rock’n’roll fun covering his entire eight studio album career. If its a night of awesome vocals and guitar riffage you’re after in amongst some of the defining tunes of recent decades, this is a gig not to miss.

This collection opens with The World Stands Still To Weep, and I find this message such a fitting place to begin. Kudos
What a night to remember! Freak Summer weather, torrential rain, high winds, rainbows, and the fabulous female icon of soul, Diana Ross.
