Billy Idol is hitting the road this summer with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.

Idol just announced dates for a new trek, dubbed It’s A Nice Day To … Tour Again, with Jett and the Blackhearts along for the ride as special guests.

Idol announced the tour with a video featuring comedian Matt Rife, with appearances by Idol’s longtime collaborator and guitar player Steve Stevens and Jett. In it, Rife keeps subtly dropping the lyrics to Idol’s most popular tunes, leading the rocker to feel it’s a sign to go back out on the road.

The tour will kick off April 30 in Phoenix and wraps Sept. 25 at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, with the latter raising money for the victims of the California wildfires. For every ticket purchased for the LA show, $5 will be donated to the American Red Cross, with Idol set to match the donation.

A presale for tickets kicks off Wednesday at 9 a.m. Tickets go on sale to the general public starting Friday at 9 a.m. A complete list of dates can be found at billyidol.net.

And it sounds like there’s even more good news on the way for Idol fans. The press release for the tour notes that he’s planning to share details about a new album soon.
