ZZ Top Extends Their 2025 ‘Elevation’ Tour

ZZ Top, the classic rock band from Texas, has announced an exciting extension to their 2025 ‘Elevation' Tour across North America. This legendary trio, known for their blend of blues, rock, and boogie, and famed for their iconic beards and sunglasses, is once again hitting the road to deliver their unique sound to fans old and new. Originally, the tour was slated to conclude in early October 2025. However, due to high demand and the group's undying passion for performing live, the tour will now stretch into the fall with a final show in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on November 21, 2025.
The band's decision to extend the tour follows the successful start of their itinerary and reuniting with drummer Frank Beard, who had previously stepped away from live performances due to health issues. Beard made an energetic comeback during a performance in Victoria, British Columbia, on June 1, 2025. Fans were thrilled to see the original lineup back in action, with Beard joining bandmates Billy Gibbons and Elwood Francis. The trio is set to bring their captivating live shows to numerous cities across the United States, offering an extensive list of dates and venues for fans to catch their performances.
ZZ Top's tour includes a diverse mix of hometown venues and renowned concert halls. The newly added shows will take place in key locations such as Las Vegas, Santa Barbara, and Albuquerque, featuring appearances at various casino resorts and amphitheaters. The tour will also revisit places like the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota and the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado—locations that have previously witnessed the band's electric performances.
The expanded tour will not only delight longtime followers but also introduce the band's gritty blues-rock style to new generations. Among the new cities added to the schedule are several southern cultural hubs, which align perfectly with the band's southern rock roots. Supporting acts like Night Ranger, Payton Smith, Black Stone Cherry, Molly Hatchet, and The Wallflowers are set to accompany ZZ Top on various dates, adding to the excitement and diversity of the live experience.
The legendary group's 2025 ‘Elevation' Tour showcases their enduring appeal and confirms their resilience in the music industry. Formed in 1969, ZZ Top has managed to remain relevant and beloved by sticking to their roots and consistently delivering powerful tunes that resonate with generations. Key albums like Tres Hombres, Eliminator, and Recycler have solidified their place in rock history, yet their live performances continue to be a testament to their legacy. This tour promises a fresh infusion of energy, allowing fans to witness the magic of their music live.
Tickets for the extended tour went on sale on June 27, 2025, through Ticketmaster and the official ZZ Top website. While there hasn't been any information about presale codes, early access can potentially be sought directly from individual venues. Fans eagerly await the chance to purchase tickets, and the buzz surrounding the new shows' lineup only serves to increase the anticipation.
The ‘Elevation' Tour also spotlights the band's strategic approach in varying the locations and performance settings, catering to a wide audience. From expansive outdoor settings to intimate indoor venues, the tour ensures the preservation of ZZ Top’s trademark sound and delivers an awe-inspiring experience with every performance. For those enamored with classic rock, the upcoming months present an ideal opportunity to experience the raucous yet soulful tunes of one of rock's enduring giants.
