ZZ Top isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The legendary Texas trio has announced their massive 51-date North American Elevation tour, kicking off June 1 in Victoria, British Columbia, and wrapping October 10 in Terre Haute, Indiana.
Following a record-setting 99 shows in 2024, frontman Billy Gibbons seems determined to push even harder this year. After a 25-date solo run with the BFGs and a busy spring touring Australia and New Zealand, ZZ Top is back to deliver their trademark blues-rock grit across the U.S. and Canada.
Despite longtime drummer Frank Beard stepping away temporarily for health reasons, the band’s momentum hasn’t faltered. Fellow Texan and tech crew veteran John Douglas has been filling in behind the kit, joining Gibbons and bassist Elwood Francis, who himself stepped up after Dusty Hill’s passing in 2021.
With iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre and New York’s Beacon Theatre on the itinerary, ZZ Top’s 2025 tour promises to be a celebration of enduring rock and roll spirit.
Tickets are available now via their official website — and judging by their pace, ZZ Top’s journey toward triple-digit shows in a single year is just getting started.
