Dream Into It

Dream Into It is the ninth studio album by the English rock singer Billy Idol. It was released on 25 April 2025 by Dark Horse Records and BMG, and is his first album in over a decade, the last being 2014's Kings & Queens of the Underground, and his first new songs since 2022, when he released the EP The Cage. The concept album about Idol's life is his shortest to date, with a duration of only 34 minutes and 50 seconds. It is primarily a rock album, with elements of pop, electronic, country and grunge. Idol reunited with collaborator Steve Stevens for the album, which also has guest appearances by Avril Lavigne, Alison Mosshart and Joan Jett. The then unnamed album was announced on 21 January 2025, along with a supporting tour, It's a Nice Day to... Tour Again! The name Dream Into It was revealed on 26 February alongside its first single, "Still Dancing". A second single, "77", was released three days before the album on 22 April and reached No. 37 on the US Adult Pop Airplay charts. Vinyl and CD releases of the album have an alternate version without Avril Lavigne. The album itself was commercially successful in Europe, its highest position being No. 2 on the German Albums Chart. Dream Into It received generally favorable reviews from music critics. The Arts Desk praised the album for being charming and unique, and Rolling Stone Germany. The supporting It's a Nice Day to... Tour Again! tour with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, started on 30 April 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona and will end on 25 September 2025 in Los Angeles, with a European leg between June and July.
