ZZ Top — Billy F Gibbons, Frank Beard and Dusty Hill — after touring and recording for the past 44 years, the legendary Texas trio will bring their hard rocking blues bonanza to Bethlehem. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers will perform classic hits, ranging from “Sharp Dressed Man” to “La Grange” and “Legs” and “Tush” along with “I Gotsta Get Paid” and other new material from La Futura, their latest album with producer Rick Rubin. “Same three guys, same three chords,” sums up Billy F Gibbons, simply but the end result is what The New York Times has called “more or less, a perfect concert.”

ZZ Top, formed in Houston,Texas in 1969, became a huge international touring act in the ‘70s and, astoundingly, were darlings of MTV in the ‘80s, going on to sell tens of millions of records. Their unique hybrid of dirty blues and hard rock, incorporating new sounds and technology, earned them induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 with Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones doing the honors.. This summer the band will be releasing a comprehensive, greatest hits collection entitled, The Baddest of ZZ Top and they will be sharing bills with Jeff Beck this summer and, thereafter, undertaking a full slate of tour dates on their own in the fall
