ZZ Top Celebrate 50th Anniversary With US Tour

ZZ Top will be hitting the road later this summer for a lengthy tour in celebration of their 50 years as a band. The opening acts for most of the dates will be Cheap Trick, and ZZ Top has a couple of dates as well.

Singer and guitarist Billy Gibbons says, “It’s been five decades, and I think we’re starting to get pretty good at all this! We’re truly excited to be appearing across the continent this summer and fall, playing our bluesy kind of rock like we started in ’69. The beards, [drummer] Frank’s [Beard] excepted, are perhaps a bit longer, yet nothing else has changed. We’re keeping it that way.”
