Legendaarne rockbänd ZZ Top toob 22. juunil 2026 Tartu Lauluväljakule ainult neile omased bluusist inspireeritud kitarririfid ja tõelise Ameerika lõunaosariiklaste sarmi. Nad on tuntud oma originaalse stiili, edetabeleid vallutanud hittide ja viis aastakümmet kestnud karjääri poolest. ZZ Topi esimene kontsert Tartus on kohustuslik igale rokisõbrale!
Bänd loodi 1969. aastal ning nad leidsid kiiresti enda koha rokiajaloos, kui tulid välja selliste hittidega nagu “La Grange”, “Tush” ja “Sharp Dressed Man”. Nende klassikaline koosseis Billy Gibbons (kitarrid ja vokaal), Frank Beard (trummid) ja Dusty Hill (bass, vokaalid) püsis muutumatuna rohkem kui 50 aastat, mis andis ansamblile pikaajalisuse eest koha ka Guinessi rekorditeraamatus. Kui Dusty Hill 2021. aastal meie hulgast lahkus, võttis trios sisse koha nende pikaajaline kitarritehnik Elwood Francis – täpselt nii, nagu Dusty ise soovis.
ZZ Top on oma kireva karjääri jooksul välja andnud 15 stuudioalbumit ning müünud ligi 50 miljonit plaati. Nende muusikavideod domineerisid MTV ekraanil 1980ndatel, tuues neile koju mitmeid auhindu ning tõstes nad popkultuuri ikoonide staatusesse. 2004. aastal kinnistati nad Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’i võrdväärselt teiste ajastuüleste suurkujude kõrvale.
Tegemist pole lihtsalt tavalise bändiga, nad on omaette kultuuriline institutsioon. Texase suitsustest baaridest maailma suurimate lavadeni… Nende saund on püsinud ajas kindlalt ja läbinud kõik kvaliteedikontrollid. Nad on kujundanud põlvkondade kaupa erinevaid muusikuid ning inspireerinud miljoneid fänne keerama kõlaritel heli põhja ja kasvatama habemed veelgi pikemaks.
ZZ Top ei erine teistest mitte vaid oma muusikalise särtsu poolest. Nad on suutnud areneda, jäädes samas oma juurtele siiralt truuks. Kolme sõbra bluusilik stiil albumil “Tres Hombres”, süntesaatoritega ilustatud “Eliminatori” staadionirokk – nende diskograafia on tõeline poole sajandi pikkune helirännak läbi Ameerika rockmuusika. Ja samas kõlavad nad jätkuvalt toorelt, suurepäraselt ja revolutsiooniliselt.
Nende live-show’d on kordumatud. Billy Gibbonsi hingelõikavad soolod, Frank Beardi rütmiline jõud, Elwood Francise cool karisma tagavad, et ZZ Topi kontsert on tõeline meistriklass. Nüüd on esmakordselt ka Tartu fännidel võimalik oma ihusilmaga olla tunnistajaks tõeliste legendide tulekule. Tartu Lauluväljak pakub looduslikku akustilist elamust, mõnusat suvist vaibi ja kui kokteili põhikomponendiks on habemike kitarririfid, huumor ja vokaalid, siis sünnib rocki ajalugu.
ZZ Topi unustamatu kontserdi kogemiseks 22. juunil 2026 Tartu Lauluväljakul tasub pilet varakult soetada. Live Nationi kontserdiklubi liikmete jaoks algab eelmüük 25. novembril kell 12. Avalik piletimüük algab 26. novembril kell 12 Piletilevi veebis ja müügipunktides.

ZZ Top, the iconic rock powerhouse hailing from Houston, Texas, will bring their signature blend of blues-infused riffs and Southern swagger to Tartu Song Festival Grounds on June 22, 2026. Known for their unmistakable style, chart-topping hits, and five decades of non-stop touring, ZZ Top’s first-ever open-air concert in Tartu promises to be a night to remember.
Formed in 1969, ZZ Top quickly carved out a place in rock history with hits like “La Grange,” “Tush,” and “Sharp Dressed Man.” The classic lineup – Billy Gibbons (guitar, vocals), Frank Beard (drums), and Dusty Hill (bass, vocals) – remained unchanged for over 50 years, earning the band a Guinness World Record for longevity. Following Dusty Hill’s passing in 2021, longtime guitar tech Elwood Francis stepped in to continue the trio’s legacy, just as Hill had wished.
Throughout their illustrious career, ZZ Top has released 15 studio albums and sold an estimated 50 million records. Their music videos dominated MTV in the '80s, winning multiple awards and becoming cultural staples. In 2004, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, solidifying their place among music’s all-time greats.
With a legacy built on grit, groove, and a wink of irreverence, ZZ Top isn’t just a band – they’re a cultural institution. From smoky bars in Texas to the biggest arenas on Earth, their infectious sound has stood the test of time, shaped generations of musicians, and inspired millions of fans to crank it louder and grow their beards longer.
What sets ZZ Top apart isn’t just their unmatched musical chemistry, but their ability to evolve while staying unmistakably themselves. From the bluesy swagger of “Tres Hombres” to the synth-laced arena rock of “Eliminator”, their discography is a sonic road trip through five decades of American rock history. And they still sound as raw, tight, and rebellious as ever.
Their live shows are the stuff of legend. Whether it’s the searing solos of Billy Gibbons, the rhythmic power of Frank Beard, or the cool charisma that now continues through Elwood Francis, a ZZ Top concert is a masterclass in timeless showmanship. Expect a setlist packed with classics, a few deep cuts for the die-hards, and a whole lot of swagger.
Now, for the first time ever, fans in Tartu will have the chance to experience that legacy in an unforgettable open-air setting. The Tartu Lauluväljak, with its sweeping natural acoustics and vibrant summer vibe, is the perfect backdrop for a night that promises gritty guitars, down-home humor, and rock history made live.
Prepare for a night of legendary riffs, sharp style, and rock history under the open sky when ZZ Top takes the stage at Tartu Song Festival Grounds on June 22, 2026. Tickets for Live Nation Concert Club members will be available from Wednesday, November 25 at 12:00.
