The legendary ZZ Top co-founder, vocalist and guitarist Billy Gibbons announced new solo tour dates for 2023. The dates are scheduled for Europe next June and July. He will be accompanied by Matt Sorum (Drums) and Austin Hanks (Guitar).

The trio will perform in Sweden, Finland, Noway, Denmark, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, United Kingdom, France and Netherlands.

Gibbons released his first solo album in 2015 called “Perfectamundo”, then in 2018 he recorded “The Big Bad Blues” and the most recent one is “Hardware” (2021).

“The recent run with ZZ was a grand time and we thought to take the energy with our alter ego to ‘get down’ all the way around. That’s THIS tour…! We’re really cooking and looking to bring the BFG experience forward to all our friends in Europe and the UK. See you soon!” Billy Gibbons said in an official statement.

Next February, April, July, August and September will be on the road with ZZ Top.

Rafael Polcaro: I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
