ZZ Top & Skynyrd Plot US Tour
Legendary rock acts announce joint tour for the summer
ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd are teaming up this spring for The Rebels & Bandoleros Tour.
The two groups, who have toured together several times since the early 1970s, are set for a string of tour dates together starting May 12 in Wichita, KS. The tour marks the first time in many years that these iconic standard-bearers of Southern Rock will have toured so extensively together.
"Rebels and Bandolers is more of a coming together of friends more than a mere tour," Billy Gibbons commented. "We're delighted to be hitting the road with our Skynyrd brethren once more. It's going to be a great ride."
Johnny Van Zant remarked, "Eleven years ago we toured together for eleven months straight. We love the guys in ZZ and their music, and can't wait to get back out on the road with them. This show is an event that the fans are going to love. Two legendary bands in one night – what more can the fans ask for to kick off the summer of 2011!"
