Get out your cheap sunglasses and your sharpest outfits – ZZ Top is ready to get back on the road. Dusty Hill, Frank Beard and Billy Gibbons have announced a tour routing that includes rescheduled dates, a number of new gigs and the band’s Las Vegas residency at the Venetian Theatre.
The beloved blues rock last took the stage at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo in February 2020 before the pandemic hit. Now the trio will be back on stage next month, starting with a July 16 appearance at Delaware County Fair in Manchester, Iowa, followed by a headline show at Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mt. Pleasant, Mich.
“They shut the door right after our 50th anniversary tour and now it’s back open. We’re excited to get out there and play our music for everybody,” Hill said in a statement.
Beard remarked, “To say we’re looking forward to getting back out on the road and performing in front of real people is the understatement of the last 16 months, if not the century.”
Finally, Gibbons added, “ZZ is coming on strong. Let’s get it…!”
