ZZ Top have added a new run of dates to their ongoing Elevation Tour. The Texan trio's spring schedule begins on March 5 at the Civic Center in Dothan, AL, and wraps up at the East Arkansas Community College in Forrest City, AR, on April 12. Tickets are on sale now.

The shows will give fans another chance to see how Elwood Francis, who took over bass guitar duties after Dusty Hill's death in 2021, is settling into his role. In an interview with Bass Player earlier this year, Francis was keen to emphasise that he still sees himself as a fill-in, not a replacement.

“When I first started doing it, Dusty was just sick and going home for a few weeks," he said. "It was entirely different; I was just helping out.

"We'd done some gigs when Dusty passed, and by that time, I wouldn't say I was comfortable because I'm still not fucking comfortable. But I had a piece of paper on the riser for the first two shows if I got in trouble, and by the third show, I got rid of that, and just did the show.

“It's just weird. Dusty is their bass player. I'm not the bass player. I'm not in the band. I'll never be in the band. I shouldn't be in the band."

ZZ Top's next show on the Elevation tour is at the Fred Kavli Theatre in Thousand Oaks , CA, this evening (October 29). Full dates below.
