It’s a nice day for a…Billy Idol tour announcement!

The legendary new wave punk will be bringing his Rebel Yell Tour to Canada this summer, starting with Vancouver’s Rogers Arena on July 30.

The show will kick off a 13-city stretch that will take the 68-year-old English-American rocker through Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, and the Maritimes. The tour will come on the heels of the upcoming release of the expanded 40th anniversary edition of Rebel Yell, set to come out on April 26. The reduxed album features previously unreleased tracks and demos, including “Flesh For Fantasy'” and a cover of Rose Royce’s “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore”.

The double-platinum album was Idol’s sophomore release in 1983, helping him skyrocket to legendary status four decades ago. Now, the reissue will be available in a double vinyl and double CD—as well as digitally.

Idol will be joined on the Canadian leg of the tour with his longtime backing band (including guitarist and collaborator Steve Stevens), along with Canadian glam rockers Platinum Blonde.

With that, you know we’ll be crying “More! More! More!”
