George Thorogood & The Destroyers join the bill on Saturday, September 12th
UNCASVILLE, CT (April 21, 2026) –– ZZ Top has announced seven more weeks of U.S. dates on their ongoing The Big One! Tour, which began last month, including a stop at Mohegan Sun Arena, where ZZ Top with special guests George Thorogood & The Destroyers are confirmed to appear on Saturday, September 12th. The show begins at 8:00pm.
Fans can secure tickets beginning Friday, April 24th via Ticketmaster, before tickets become available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office on Saturday, April 25th.
ZZ Top – Billy F Gibbons, Frank Beard and Elwood Francis – has proven to be one of most sought-after touring attractions of the era and the breadth of their dates confirms their status across three continents. Billy Gibbons commented, “It’s true that we’ve been spending a lot of time on the road and the more we’re out there, the better it feels. It’s a good time for us and for the generations of fans who appreciate what we do. We’ve been at it for quite a while – something like five decades – and it seems we’re getting good at it so there’s no reason to slow things down. Let’s rock!”
