Billy F Gibbons and the BFG Band to Perform at the Southern Theatre In February

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Billy F Gibbons, best known as the founder, guitarist, and frontman of ZZ Top, will perform with his solo project Billy F Gibbons and the BFG Band at the Southern Theatre (21 E. Main St.) on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, at 7:30 PM.

About the Tour

The 2026 tour marks the third solo outing for Gibbons and the BFG Band, following successful previous runs. The lineup includes Chris “Whipper” Layton (Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble) on drums and Mike “The Drifter” Flanigin on Hammond organ, bass, and backing vocals. The six-week tour begins January 20 and will include 28 performances across the U.S.

Over the past decade, Gibbons has released three solo albums—Perfectamundo, The Big Bad Blues, and Hardware—with a fourth currently in production for Concord Records. A new single, “Brown Paper Bag,” is expected to debut with the tour’s launch.

Layton, a longtime collaborator of Gibbons, is known for his work with The Jungle Show, Arc Angels, and the Experience Hendrix Tour. Flanigin, a veteran of the Austin blues scene, has performed with Jimmie Vaughan and ZZ Top and is recognized for his mastery of the Hammond B3 organ.
