Billy Idol played five dates in the UK as part of his worldwide 'The Roadside Tour' in October. His set list included such 80's classics as 'Flesh for Fantasy', 'Eyes Without a Face', 'Rebel Yell' and 'White Wedding', but also found him looking back to his punk roots with Generation X's '100 Punks' and a cover of Johnny Thunders and The Heartbreakers' 'Born to Lose'. Idol also played several songs from his recent EPs 'The Roadside' (2021) and 'The Cage' (2022) such as 'Bitter Taste', 'Runnin' From the Ghost' and the title track n the latter EP. These photographs were taken by Andrew Twambley at one of the shows at the Manchester Arena on the 13th October.
