ZZ Top to perform on VH-1 Storytellers?

If anyone has any info on this -- especially ticket info -- PLEASE LET US KNOW ASAP!!

Major rock/metal festival updates coming soon!

This is a great time of year to be a hard rock/metal fan because all of the big summer festivals are starting to release their lineups.

Sweden Rock will be announcing more bands this week, and that is one festival we hope to attend this year for the first time.

Rocklahoma just announced Nelson (give them a chance!) and Great White to go along with the already-announced Keel and Kix. We hope to hit that show for a second time this July.

And Donington/Download will announce their third headliner in a few days.

Of course, there are many more great festivals taking place this year (especially in Europe) but these are the three we're focusing on, hoepfully we will be able to attend at least two of these three. If not, there's also Rock Gone Wild, Texas Rock Fest, and a couple of other options in Europe.

Official: ZZ Top to play Download/Donington June 14

Well, as we predicted back in January, ZZ Top will return to the U.K. on June 14 with a show at the Download Festival at Donington.

About freakin' time!

More European datezz this week?

Well, still no official Download announcement. Hopefully that will come soon. In the meantime, check lowpft.com for new dates in Europe. The tour should be filling out soon.

We have a trip booked for the Houston Rodeo show wiyh a side trip to LaGrange in late March. We are also in the process of booking our European trip so look out Europe, here we come!

No Download announcement yet

Well, the first Download announcement was today, and ZZ Top still hasn't been formally announced. We think it will still happen but as always, we'll believe it when we see it.

lowpft.com has listed a new date for Prague on May 26, so hopefully the rest of this summer European tour will be leaking out soon.

Download Announcements on Monday?

Supposedly the Download Festival will be announcing some of its acts on Monday. So if the Boyzz are indeed playing that festival on Sunday June 14, long-suffering UK ZZ Top fans will finally get to see a Top show in England.

ZZ Top to play at the Preakness May 16

It looks like ZZ will be playing at least one (and maybe more?) U.S. dates between the Rodeo in March and the May start of the European tour. It was announced today (but not yet confirmed by the band) that they will be playing at the Preakness horse race on May 16 in Baltimore.
