ZZ Top Announce 2016 ‘Hell Raisers’ Tour
ZZ Top will return to the road in 2016.
The band has announced a run of spring dates it's dubbed the Hell Raisers tour, beginning March 18 in Oklahoma and continuing through May 6 in North Carolina. Along the way, they're scheduled to visit more than two dozen cities in the U.S. and Canada, with an emphasis on the Midwest, Pacific Northwest and American South.
The Hell Raisers shows come after the conclusion of a tour mounted by guitarist Billy Gibbons in support of his debut solo LP, Perfectamundo, and follow Gibbons' recent hints that the band would be getting back onstage soon.
"ZZ is comin' at'cha with the 2016 Hell Raisers Tour," said Gibbons. "We getting the road ready and know you, too, are ready to rock. Gonna be a good, good time. Make that a ‘good LOUD time!'"
