Introduction

Get ready to experience the raw, electrifying power of ZZ Top as they bring their legendary blues-rock sound to the stunning Poble Espanyol in Barcelona on Sunday, 19th July 2026!

This promises to be an unforgettable evening under the Barcelona sky, celebrating decades of rock and roll excellence in a truly unique setting.

About the Artist

Formed in Houston, Texas, in 1969, ZZ Top is one of the longest-running and most successful rock bands in history. The classic lineup of Billy Gibbons (vocals, guitar), Dusty Hill (bass, vocals), and Frank Beard (drums) became synonymous with a distinctive blend of blues, rock, and boogie. Their breakthrough came in the early 1980s with albums like 'Eliminator' and 'Afterburner', which fused their signature sound with synthesizers and MTV-friendly music videos, catapulting them to global superstardom. Hits like 'Sharp Dressed Man', 'Gimme All Your Lovin'', 'Legs', and 'La Grange' are etched into the annals of rock music. Known for their distinctive beards, cool sunglasses, and matching outfits, ZZ Top's live performances are legendary for their energy, musicianship, and sheer rock and roll swagger. After the sad passing of Dusty Hill in 2021, Billy Gibbons and Frank Beard, with the support of Elwood Francis on bass, continue to honour the band's incredible legacy, delivering the same electrifying show that fans have come to love for over five decades.
