Unfortunately they are not coming to Northern Germany.

here´s my alltime favourite:

JUST GOT PAID

No date in the UK ??!?

Did see them last year in Oslo. The best trio still performing in the rock business.

This is not "ZZ TOP European Tour 2011" it's ZZ TOP touring France with a few extra dates added elsewhere!
Amazing!

No UK dates ?

They were GREAT last year even if they did have some obvious backing tapes

Carlitos, until now only tickets for Cordoba are available trough ticketmaster. It is expected that tickets for Madrid will also be available trough this source.
Hope to get tickets and wish you good luck!

they seemed so vegas now. i saw them in 2008 and everything looked so staged

I'm seeing them next month in the USA where they are co-billing with Lynyrd Skynyrd. So that means a 70 minute set. Pretty much the same 12 songs they have been playing since 1999...give or take 2-3 changes.

no dates in Poland - ouch

yeah thats exactly the problem. they play 95% of the same setlist every tour since 1999 or so. before that since 1991 they would play 4 songs from whatever album they were touring for and 2-3 surprises and then the hits and maybe 1 tune from the previous new release. every since the XXX album they play just the hits and maybe 2 songs from whatever album was just released and then 2 surprises and a cover. since they haven't had a new album since 2003 they play 2 covers and 3 rare tunes so you are hearing the same songs every tour with the exception of 5 tunes

Which is pretty much the same formula for every old band still touring these days.

thats not true. the rolling stones at least alternate threw a list of tunes every show. zz top plays the exact same setlist through an entire tour. look at the allman brothers, prince, furthur,bruce springsteen or even U2. they aren't afraid to play new material or lesser known material and change the setlist at every show

I have not seen the 2011 setlist yet, but since 1994 they have been playing "Pincushion" ??? why ???

yup they still play that. the 2011 setlist right now is exactly the same as the 2010 setlist

ZZ TOP.. played in Hamilton, New Zealand last Saturaday night after a Street car racing event.A great night..yea'

i don't care if they play exactly the same set every year to be honest. as long as it kicks arse

is that better than the Stones trying new songs out but playing them horribly ?

think back to Sway and try not to shudder ,,,

Who gives a s hit about the setlist at a ZZ Top concert? The real issue is: how come Frank Beard is the dude without no beard?

If I had a dolar for everytime somebody asked that stupid question I could pay ZZ Top enough to change their setlist.
