Billy Idol to perform first Hoover Dam show ever

The video-projection potential alone seems breathtaking.

Billy Idol is performing the first concert at Hoover Dam on April 8. The rock idol is performing for a select group of 250 guests to raise awareness of the region’s severe drought.

Idol announced the show Feb. 6 on his Twitter page. His longtime guitarist, Steve Stevens, is also committed to the performance.
