Arizona Bike Week welcomes Billy Idol as 2023 headliner
Posted
Billy Idol has been one of the biggest faces and voices of rock’n’roll the last 45 years, and Arizona Bike Week 2023 announced Idol will headline one of the RockYard Concert Series nights when Arizona Bike Week returns Wednesday, March 29 through Sunday, April 2, to WestWorld of Scottsdale.
The Hard Rock Superstar commands the stage Thursday, March 30 starting at 8:30 p.m.
A press release explained that as the frontman for Generation X, between 1977 and 1981 Idol emerged with three albums that made positivity, emotional depth and high pop synonymous with punk rock. In 1982, he embarked on a remarkable transatlantic/trans-genre solo career that integrated clubland throb, wide-screen depth and drama, rockabilly desperation, the bold and simple lines of punk and rock’n’roll decadence.
AZ Bike Week concertgoers can also expect to hear some of his new work from “The Roadside” and “The Cage,” his latest two four-song EPs released in 2021 and 2022.
AZ Bike Week recently announced legendary rock band STAIND will also hit the stage at The RockYard on Saturday, April 1.
Single concert and all concert passes are on sale for the four-night music festival in the RockYard. Visit www.AZBikeWeek.com for tickets.
With an expected attendance of 75,000 people, AZ Bike Week is officially in the top 3 for the country’s top biker rallies, the release stated. Arizona Bike Week’s concert lineup has played a big role in making the rally an annual excursion for riders from all across the country — but music fans arriving on four wheels are welcomed warmly by the biker community as well.
“We have some big performers hitting the stage at Arizona Bike Week this year. In addition to Billy Idol and STAIND, we also have MEGADETH and Texas Hippie Coalition,” said Lisa Cyr of Arizona Bike Week. “2023 is already shaping up to be one of our biggest years yet. Whether you are coming by motorcycle or car, there is something for everyone with exciting rides, events, concerts, contests and great things to see and do every day”.
MEGADETH takes the stage on Friday, April 1 and Texas Hippie Coalition performs on Wednesday, March 29. The RockYard gates open each night at 6 p.m. with a support band starting at 6:30 p.m. The headliners all perform at 8:30 p.m.
You can come early to check out the rest of the rally festivities in the PowerYard where gates open Wednesday and Thursday at noon and 10 a.m., Friday through Sunday. Tickets are just $15 for the entire week of PowerYard admission. Concert tickets are sold separately and include complimentary PowerYard admission.
For those who want to camp, there are RV and tent campsites available as well.
Other fan favorites to check out at AZ Bike Week, the T-Bar Trail Ride, Dry Heat Run, Happy Hour Parties, After Hours Parties, Stunt Shows, Campground Contests, Bike Shows, Factory Demo Rides, plus bands from the local music scene performing day and night in the PowerYard.
WestWorld of Scottsdale is located at 16601 North Pima Road, Scottsdale, 85260.
