An Evening With Billy Idol & Steve Stevens

MODERATED BY 5x GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING ARTIST JIMMY JAM

The GRAMMY Museum is thrilled to welcome iconic artist Billy Idol and his longtime collaborator, guitarist/co-songwriter Steve Stevens to the Museum’s intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater for an evening celebrating their album, Dream Into It, with a discussion about their creative process. There will be a special live acoustic performance to follow.

For 46 years, Billy Idol has been one of the definitive faces and voices of rock’n’roll. Between 1977 and 1981, Idol released three albums with Generation X as their camera-ready frontman. In 1982, with his longtime guitarist/collaborator Steve Stevens at his side, he embarked on a transatlantic/trans-genre solo career that integrated the bold and simple lines of punk and rock’n’roll decadence. Showing no signs of slowing down, Idol released Dream Into It in 2025 on Dark Horse Records, earning praise from fans and critics alike.

In addition to the regularly scheduled programming above, we would love to invite you to a special screening at 5pm on the day of the program to see Billy Idol Should Be Dead, the definitive Billy Idol documentary, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June. Your purchased ticket will now include early entry for this 5pm screening.
