The legendary Texan blues-rock trio ZZ Top, known for their long beards, sunglasses, trench coats, and timeless hits, returns to Belgium after a seven-year absence, giving fans the chance to experience the 'Little Ol’ Band From Texas' live on Thursday, July 9 at Forest National in Brussels. This stop is part of their first European tour in two years, spanning 23 dates across 13 countries over five weeks — and promises to be an unforgettable evening of blues-rock magic!

The ‘The Big One!’ tour takes the legendary trio - Billy F Gibbons, Elwood Francis and Frank Beard - to audiences in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland, France and closing out with multiple concerts in Spain from mid to late July.

The tour will bring them to festival goers in several countries as well as traditional arena and stadium concert venues, including a stop in our country on Thursday, July 9 at Forest National in Brussels.

Billy F Gibbons commented, “We love playing for European audiences as they’re among the most energetic and enthusiastic we’ve encountered over the course of the past five decades. We’re excited to bring 'The Big One!' to the continent where you can be sure we’ll be turning it up and rocking out. We predict a circumstance direct communication because there’s no language barrier when the common parlance is to let it rock.”

The stuff of rock legends, ZZ Top traces its history back to the last day of 1969 with the band making its public debut at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Beaumont, TX shortly thereafter. In the intervening years, ZZ Top has been responsible for the sale of more than 60 million albums worldwide. Their catalog includes four RIAA certified Gold albums, six Platinum albums and one album, Eliminator, that has been certified Diamond in recognition of sales of more than 10 million copies. Beyond that, they enjoyed eight Top 40 singles, two Platinum-certified video collections and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame 21 years ago by Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones.
