Classic rock icons ZZ Top will perform at 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6, at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort.

Formed in 1969 in Houston, ZZ Top is a legendary rock band known for its distinctive blend of blues, rock, and boogie.

The music often features gritty guitar riffs, bluesy solos and clever lyrics, all rooted in Texas blues, but with a unique twist.

The band gained widespread acclaim with its 1973 album “Tres Hombres,” which included hits like “La Grange,” showcasing their signature style. The 1983 album “Eliminator” marked a major commercial breakthrough, thanks to its innovative use of synthesizers and music videos. Hits such as “Gimme All Your Lovin’” and “Sharp Dressed Man” have become staples of rock radio.

ZZ Top’s longevity and consistent sound have made the act a pillar in rock and blues realms. The trio’s chemistry and style have remained central to its enduring appeal, solidifying the band’s place in rock history.

Tickets start at $79.50 per person. For more information and/or to purchase tickets, go to caesars.com/harrahs-cherokee.
