Rock and Roll Hall of Famers ZZ Top are bringing their Celebration with ZZ Top tour to Penticton and Kamloops.

Best known for a string of video hits in the ‘80s, including Legs, Sharp Dressed Man and Gimme All Your Lovin’, ZZ Top are one of the world's longest-running bands with no personnel changes. They are in Penticton's South Okanagan Events Centre May 2 and at The Sandman Centre in Kamloops May 3.

Hitting the road to celebrate their 50th anniversary,  ZZ Top still maintains the most consistently stable lineup in the history of rock music: Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard.

In 1969, BFG formed ZZ Top with drummer Beard and bass-guitarist Hill, both from the Dallas. Fifteen studio albums, 30 million record sales and five decades later, “That Little Ol’ Band From Texas” is still going strong, playing timeless hits.

Cheap Trick will be opening the show.
