ZZ TOP TO TOUR AUSTRALIA IN 2025 WITH SPECIAL GUESTS GEORGE THOROGOOD & THE DESTROYERS

ZZ TOP will headline around Australia along with the masters of American blues-rock, George Thorogood & The Destroyers, as special guests. They will also be joined on the Red Hot Summer dates by local Aussie rockers, The Living End, Baby Animals, Rose Tattoo & Dallas Frasca.

ZZ TOP, “That Little Ol’ Band From Texas” has been at it for well over a half century, delivering rock, blues and boogie on the road and in the studio to millions of devoted fans. With classic songs such as “Sharp Dressed Man”, “Legs” and “Gimme Me All Your Lovin” and iconography as distinctive as their sound, ZZ TOP is virtually synonymous with beards, hot-rod cars, spinning guitars and that magic keychain, all of which transcend geography and language.

As a touring entity, the bands current line-up of Billy Gibbons, Frank Beard and Elwood Francis have performed before millions of fans on four continents.

They have sold hundreds of millions of records over the course of their career, have been officially designated as Heroes of The State of Texas, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (by Keith Richards, no less) and have been referenced in countless cartoons and sitcoms. They are true rock icons and, against all odds, they’re really just doing what they’ve always done.

Since 1976, George Thorogood & The Destroyers have sold over 15 million albums, built a catalogue of classic hits, and played more than 8,000 ferocious live shows including their 2022 tour of Australia and New Zealand on their 45th Anniversary ‘Good To Be Bad Tour’.

Through it all, they’ve remained one of the most consistent – and consistently passionate –progenitors of blues-based rock in pop culture history. For Thorogood and his longtime band – Jeff Simon (drums, percussion), Bill Blough (bass guitar), Jim Suhler (rhythm guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone) – the power to rock audiences has been both battle cry and creed since the beginning.

It’s on stage that George & The Destroyers flip the switch delivering their signature hits “Get A Haircut”, “I Drink Alone”, “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer”, “Move It On Over”, “Who Do You Love” and the definitive badass anthem “Bad To The Bone”.
