ZZ Top
2026

The Texas Blues Rock Legacy of ZZ Top

ZZ Top stands among rock's most recognizable and commercially successful acts. Formed in Houston, Texas, in 1969, the band developed a signature sound rooted in Texas blues and boogie rock that would influence generations of musicians. With estimated sales of 50 million records worldwide, diamond and multi-platinum certifications, and six number-one singles on the Mainstream Rock chart, their commercial impact matches their critical acclaim.

The band's 1983 album Eliminator became a cultural phenomenon, selling over 10 million copies and producing iconic MTV videos that defined 1980s pop culture. Songs like "Gimme All Your Lovin'," "Sharp Dressed Man," and "Legs" featured the band's signature visual elements—hot rods, beautiful women, and the unmistakable bearded duo of Billy Gibbons and (the late) Dusty Hill. The follow-up album Afterburner (1985) continued this success, becoming their highest-charting release and setting attendance and revenue records during its supporting tour.

Following the 2021 passing of bassist Dusty Hill, who had performed with the band since 1970, Elwood Francis assumed bass duties as per Hill's wishes. Francis, who had served as the band's guitar tech for decades, seamlessly integrated into the lineup, ensuring ZZ Top's legendary sound continues for new and longtime fans. The current trio of Gibbons, Beard, and Francis maintains the blues-rock foundation that has sustained the band for over half a century.

Dwight Yoakam: Country Music Maverick

Dwight Yoakam burst onto the country music scene in 1986 with a sound that honored traditional honky-tonk while incorporating rock and roll energy. His debut album Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. went on to achieve gold certification and established Yoakam as a major force in neo-traditional country music. His first three albums all reached number one on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart, a remarkable achievement for a new artist bucking the contemporary country trends of the mid-1980s.

Throughout his career spanning nearly 40 years, Yoakam has released 21 studio albums, earned two Grammy Awards, and achieved more than 25 million in album sales worldwide. With 12 gold albums and nine platinum or multi-platinum certifications, his commercial success matches his artistic credibility. His 1993 release This Time became his most commercially successful album, earning triple-platinum status. Beyond music, Yoakam has established himself as a respected actor, appearing in films including Sling Blade, Panic Room, and Wedding Crashers.

What to Expect at These Concerts

His backing band, featuring longtime producer and guitarist Pete Anderson's influence, delivers the Bakersfield sound that defined Yoakam's career while incorporating rock elements that complement ZZ Top's aesthetic.

Our resale marketplace offers additional ticket options from verified third-party sellers for fans who missed initial on-sale dates or seek alternative seating options.

Are there age restrictions for these concerts?

Age policies vary by venue, so checking the specific venue's requirements is essential. Most arenas and amphitheaters require all attendees to hold tickets regardless of age, including infants and young children. Some casino venues may have minimum age requirements of 18 or 21 years. Parents considering bringing children should evaluate whether the concert environment—including volume levels, late showtimes, and general atmosphere—suits their family. Contact the venue directly for specific age policies and recommendations.

What time should I arrive at the venue?

Most venues open doors approximately 60 to 90 minutes before showtime. Arriving when doors open provides time for parking, security screening, finding seats, and purchasing concessions or merchandise before performances begin.

Each venue maintains its own technical specifications and production standards to deliver optimal concert experiences.

How does buying from a resale marketplace differ from the box office?

Venue box offices and primary ticket sellers like Ticketmaster serve as authorized sellers offering tickets at established prices when initially released. Resale marketplaces feature inventory from verified third-party sellers at market-driven prices, which may be above or below original face value depending on demand. Resale markets provide options when primary tickets sell out and offer competitive pricing through seller competition. We provide transparent upfront pricing, buyer protection, and authentic ticket guarantees—ensuring valid admission to your selected event.

What happens if an artist cancels or the show is postponed?

In postponement situations, tickets typically remain valid for the rescheduled date. If you cannot attend the new date, contact our customer service team to discuss available options based on your specific purchase. For cancelled events without reschedules, refund policies vary by seller and circumstance. Review your order confirmation email for complete terms, or contact our support team with questions about your specific order. We work to resolve issues fairly and efficiently for all customers.

Where can I find the best seats for this show?

Optimal seating depends on personal preferences and venue configuration. Floor seats or front sections provide proximity to the stage and enhanced visual experience, while mid-level seating often offers excellent sightlines with superior sound quality. Many fans prefer slightly elevated positions providing full stage views without obstructions. Our marketplace displays available inventory across all venue sections, allowing you to review seating charts, compare sight-line views, and select locations matching your preferences and budget.

Will there be opening acts on this tour?
