The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer recently shared his enthusiasm about touring, describing it as the greatest job in the world. “Go to work by playing… and looking ahead to playing it again! Why stop?” Gibbons said in an exclusive interview with The Post. With two major tours lined up for 2026, the ZZ Top frontman is set to keep the momentum going.

Following this solo run, Gibbons will reunite with ZZ Top for a nationwide ‘Dos Amigos’ tour from March to September, with the legendary Dwight Yoakam joining them on select dates. This tour will feature new guitars, an upgraded drum array, new costumes, and fresh tunes to enhance the experience for fans. Gibbons proudly stated, “We’re gonna turn out and crank it up in a premiumly powerful way. Feel free to quote me.”
Despite his busy schedule, Gibbons still finds time to reflect on his iconic facial hair, joking about the challenges it brings during Christmas season. The beloved guitarist is known for his signature bearded look, which often draws comparisons to Santa Claus.
