ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons announces 2026 tour

ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons has announced dates for a 2026 solo tour.

The North American series will open January 20 in Napa, CA, with dates currently scheduled until end of February.

Joining Gibbons in the BFG Band is drummer Chris "Whipper" Layton and Mike "The Drifter" Flanigin on Hammond organ, bass and backing vocals.

“I’m joined with Whipper and The Drifter, in our collective Texas collective blues tradition," says Gibbons. "There’s a bond that speaks volumes about our sonic skew. One might hear a surf tune or some other detour of loudness as what we do is looser than our collective background might suggest. We predict good times as we always say, ‘Ya’ can’t lose with the blues.’”

An Artist Presale is now underway, with general public tickets on sale November 7 at 10 AM local time.
