It looks like Billy Gibbons is determined to break into triple digits this year. The guitar legend began 2025 with a 25-date tour with his side band the BFGs, then immediately followed that up with 23 North American ZZ Top dates. On April 26 the group will begin a 12-date, three-week tour of Australia and New Zealand, then it’s off to Canada for the start of this latest North American tour, which will include the newly added dates.

ZZ Top will launch the 51-date North American Elevation tour on June 1 in Victoria, British Columbia, with the fun currently set to conclude on Oct. 10 in Terre Haute, Indiana.
The Texas trio were the most active classic rock band in terms of touring last year, beating out fellow road warriors such as Judas Priest, Styx and Journey with 99 shows in 2024.
In mid-March, longtime ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard announced that he would be taking some time off from the tour to focus on an unspecified health issues. John Douglas, a longtime member of the band’s tech crew and, most importantly a “fellow Texan,” has been filling in since that time. He joins Gibbons and bassist Elwood Francis, who took over for the late Dusty Hill in 2021. A timeline for Beard’s return has not been announced.
