Rock and blues fans, get ready—Billy Gibbons, the legendary frontman of ZZ Top and one of the most electrifying guitarists in rock history, is hitting the road once again. The bearded icon has officially announced his 2026 World Tour, a celebration of grit, groove, and good ol’ Texas rock. Set to kick off in March 2026, this marks Gibbons’ most ambitious solo tour yet, spanning five continents and over 40 cities.
For more than five decades, Billy Gibbons has been the embodiment of rock authenticity—a blend of bluesy soul, southern swagger, and stage mastery that few can match. With classics like La Grange, Sharp Dressed Man, and Tush, he carved a legacy that transcends generations. Now, at 76, Gibbons shows no sign of slowing down. In fact, he seems to be turning the volume up even louder.
The From Houston to Hollywood World Tour will begin in Gibbons’ hometown of Houston, Texas, paying homage to the city that shaped his sound and style. Fans can expect a high-octane kickoff concert filled with the iconic riffs and smoky vocals that made him a legend. From there, the tour will blaze through Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, São Paulo, and Sydney, bringing his unmistakable tone to audiences across the globe.
In a recent statement, Gibbons hinted that this tour will blend nostalgia with surprises. “It’s gonna be a mix of the old and the new—songs that started it all, and some fresh fire for the road ahead,” he said. Rumors are already circulating about special guest appearances from longtime collaborators and modern blues artists who’ve been influenced by his style.
Fans can also expect the tour to feature tracks from Gibbons’ latest solo project, which insiders describe as “raw, dusty, and dripping with southern grit.” The yet-untitled album is reportedly set to drop just weeks before the tour kicks off, making this the perfect fusion of classic and contemporary Billy Gibbons.
Stage design will also be a highlight. Known for his love of vintage cars, custom guitars, and old-school cool, Gibbons is said to be working with a creative team to bring a retro-meets-modern stage aesthetic to life. Expect neon lights, roaring visuals, and a Texas-sized helping of rock theatrics.
Tickets are slated to go on sale December 10, 2025, with exclusive pre-sale options for fan club members. VIP experiences—complete with backstage meet-and-greets, signed memorabilia, and even custom guitar picks—are expected to sell out fast.
Whether you’re a die-hard ZZ Top fan or new to the blues-rock world, From Houston to Hollywood: Billy Gibbons’ 2026 World Tour promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. As the man himself would say, “The blues ain’t just music—it’s a way of life.” And next year, Billy Gibbons is taking that way of life global.
