ZZ Top’s 50th Anniversary Tour To Start In August

AUSTIN, Texas (CelebrityAccess) ZZ Top is celebrating its 50th anniversary tour with a massive North America tour that kicks off at Ridgefield, Wash.’s Sunlight Supply Amphitheatre Aug. 16.

Some dates include either Cheap Trick or Lynyrd Skynyrd.

The Texas trio of Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard was formed in 1969 and has since produced 15 studio albums and 30 million record sales.

Gibbons looked back at the history of the band, while also looking forward to the 50th Anniversary tour dates.

“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, Frank’s excepted, are perhaps a bit longer, yet nothing else has changed.  We’re keeping it that way.”
