ZZ Top and Cheap Trick Add 2026 Tour Dates, Bringing Big Bass Energy to the Fall
ZZ Top and Cheap Trick have announced more dates to their tour. The fall run will now have stops in Nashville, Tennessee, as well as The Woodlands and Irving, Texas.
It’ll be a chance to see some serious low end with Elwood Francis holding it down for ZZ Top and Tom Petersson with Cheap Trick. It will also be a showcase of strings. Petersson is renowned for his 12-string basses (pictured with the Brooks bass above), while Francis has been using insane multi-string basses as a bit of a gag.
Watch him play a yellow 17-string bass on “Got Me Under Pressure”:
