Like everyone else, ZZ Top has been off the road for more than a year - and they're making up for the lost time.
The veteran Texas rockers have announced an absolutely massive "Celebration with ZZ Top" tour, kicking off July 16th and stretching all the way into mid-December, followed by a Canadian tour leg starting next April. In total, 78(!) concert dates were announced Friday.
Drummer Frank Beard said, "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."
