Billy Idol in Concert!

Let's go to the Billy Idol concert at Ravinia Festival. We will buy Lawn General Admission tickets and enjoy together the concert after a picnic.

Doors open at 5:00 pm and concert starts at 7:00 pm. Sharing as a group at this beautiful venue before the concert is an important component of the whole experience at Ravinia.

Tickets go on sale to the public on April 23 at Protected content

You should bring your own chair / picnic mat/blanket or can rent a chair at Ravinia at $10. You can bring your own drinks and food and something to share with the group. I bring a table, decorate it, and also will have a corkscrew and bottle opener and some disposable cups in case you bring wine for yourself or to share.

From the basements where punk rock was born to the mansions of Hollywood, Billy Idol stands out as one of punk rock’s most iconic figures—complete with bleached-blond hair, rebel sneer, and irrepressible swagger.

The bad boy of 80’s rock, Idol’s power chord hits — “Rebel Yell,” “White Wedding,” “Dancing With Myself” — propelled him to international stardom as a chart-topping star of MTV. “He is one of the last remaining strands connecting that raw, D.I.Y. energy to the glam era and the mainstream,” writes The New York Times in an interview with Idol covering his nearly 50 year career.

You can travel to the concert by train using Metra on the Union Pacific North line which honor Ravinia tickets as train fares. The train station is just in front of the park.
