The ZZ Top frontman brings his solo project to Columbus for one night only.

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.
