Idol, known for hits like "Rebel Yell", "Cradle of Love", and his version of "Mony Mony", will join Jett, known for her hits "I Hate Myself For Loving You", "Bad Reputation" and "I Love Rock N Roll" on stage at the Maine Savings Amphitheater on Tuesday, August 26.

Excitement for the possibility of this double-bill started to build last fall, as some online sources began to speculate that Idol might join Jett when she hit the road in 2025.

"The excitement intensifies with an impressive lineup of opening acts that will set the stage for Joan Jett. While the full list of confirmed artists is still being finalized, the rumor mill has been alive with possibilities. Big names like The Foo Fighters, Rise Against, and Green Day are just a few of the artists expected to accompany Jett and her band. And who knows? Joan’s long-time friend Billy Idol might even make a guest appearance!"

Meanwhile, Jett announced on her website that she'd be doing a short residency with the Blackhearts in Vegas this year.

Both artists are known for their high-energy, face-melting performances and could fare well as separate acts.

The pair joined forces in August of 2024 in Long Beach California for an '80s Explosion event.
