ZZ Top To Play London

ZZ Top have announced plans to play two UK tour dates later this year, in celebration of their 42nd anniversary.

The band will play at the London Hammersmith Apollo on June 24, and the Manchester O2 Apollo on June 25.

The veteran rockers will be playing tracks from their 2012 album ‘La Futura’. Mainman Billy Gibbons recently revealed that he and bandmate Dusty Hill once turned down an offer of $1 million (£638,000) to shave off their beards.

“No dice. Even adjusted for inflation, this isn’t going to fly. The prospect of seeing oneself in the mirror clean-shaven is too close to a Vincent Price film … a prospect not to be contemplated, no matter the compensation” said Gibbons on the offer.
