ZZ Top’s Billy F Gibbons commented, “John Fogerty along with ZZ Top have been followers of blues and rock since the beginning and we’re looking forward to rippin’ it up together this spring.   We’ve got a great show lined up for ya’!”

As co-founder of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Fogerty’s career spans 50 years and he is hailed as one of the most influential musicians in rock history.

He’s been writing and editing stories about new gear, technique and guitar-driven music both old and new since 2014, and has also written extensively on the same topics for Guitar Player . Elsewhere, his album reviews and essays have appeared in Louder and Unrecorded . Though open to music of all kinds, his greatest love has always been indie, and everything that falls under its massive umbrella. To that end, you can find him on Twitter crowing about whatever great new guitar band you need to drop everything to hear right now.

John Fogerty and ZZ Top Kick Off ‘Blues and Bayous’ Tour: Set List

One of this year's most eagerly awaited package tours began last night (May 25) when ZZ Top and John Fogerty opened up their Blues and Bayous Tour at the Borgata Spa & Resort in Atlantic City, N.J.

Fogerty and his band performed 24 songs. Although the set list (see below) weighed heavily on his Creedence Clearwater Revival catalog, including classics like opener "Travelin' Band," "Who'll Stop the Rain" and "Fortunate Son," he found space to work in solo hits such as "Centerfield," "Rock and Roll Girls" and "The Old Man Down the Road." Fogerty also paid tribute to the music of the South through covers of Brad Paisley 's "Love and War," Hank Williams ' "Jambalaya (On the Bayou)," Rockin' Sidney's "My Toot Toot" and Gary U.S. Bonds' "New Orleans."

Midway through the set, Fogerty called out Billy Gibbons  for the world premiere of "The Holy Grail," a new song written by Fogerty. The studio version of the track will be released on June 8 and the two issued a preview of it on May 24.

ZZ Top opened their 14-song set (also below) with "Got Me Under Pressure" and continued with crowd-pleasers like "Gimme All Your Lovin'," "Just Got Paid" and "Legs." They encored with "La Grange" and "Tush."

The tour continues tonight at the P.N.C. Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, N.J. They'll remain on the road through June 29, when the tour wraps up at the Treasure Island Resort & Casino in Welch. Minn. You can see all the dates here .

John fogerty, zz top announce joint tour.

Posted by Buddy Iahn | Feb 26, 2018

Legendary rockers John Fogerty and ZZ Top will come together for the Blues and Bayous Tour this spring. The tour, which opens on May 25th, will make stops across the USA from the East Coast to the West. The full tour schedule is attached, below.

Tickets go on sale starting Friday, March 2nd at 10 am local time. Pre-sale tickets are available beginning Tuesday, February 27th at 10 am local time.

“ZZ Top is one of my favorite bands, and Billy F Gibbons is one of my all-time favorite guitarists. Riffs, blues and bayous… bucket list!” Fogerty states of the pairing.

“John Fogerty along with ZZ Top have been followers of blues and rock since the beginning and we’re looking forward to rippin’ it up together this spring. We’ve got a great show lined up for ya’!” comments ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons.

As co-founder of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Fogerty’s career spans 50 years and he is hailed as one of the most influential musicians in rock history. As the writer, singer and producer of numerous classic hits including “Born on the Bayou”, “Green River”, “Proud Mary”, and “Bad Moon Rising”, Fogerty has been honored as one of the 100 Greatest Guitarists, 100 Greatest Songwriters, and 100 Greatest Singers by Rolling Stone. Earning induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Songwriters Hall of Fame, and Baseball Hall of Fame, he is also a New York Times best-selling author for his memoir, Fortunate Son: My Life, My Music .

ZZ Top holds the distinction of being one of the longest running bands with the original line-up. Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard reflect their Texas roots in everything with their non-stop rock and blues, resulting in over 50 million albums sold worldwide. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Keith Richards calling the band’s relationship to the blues, “the heart of the matter.”

John Fogerty and George Thorogood announce new dates and kick off international tour

John Fogarty has added new dates to his upcoming tour, which will see George Thorogood take to the road with him as a support act.

The rock legends said they had discussed the idea of touring together for a long time, but finally decided to organize the shows for this summer.

The Celebration Tour kicked off on Sunday in South Carolina and will run all the way to September across the US and Europe.

Fogarty said: "George and I have done shows together before, but for years we’ve talked about doing a full tour together. This summer we decided time is short, we better do this now."

The tour marks the first time that Fogarty will perform Creedance Clearwater Revival songs on his own, having recently acquired the rights to them decades after the band broke up.

The frontman and founder of Creedance, Fogerty wrote a number of the band's iconic songs, such as Proud Mary and Have You Ever Seen the Rain.

Up until last year, the copyrights were the property of Saul Zaentz, the owner of Fantasy Records, who sold the label and its publishing portfolio to the former Concord Music Group in 1995. Creedance broke up in 1972.

Fogarty said: "I own my own songs again. This is something I thought would never be a possibility. I am looking forward to touring and celebrating and, I am excited for new ideas and a renewed interest in my music…like a revival,”

Fogarty will play nearly 40 shows in total and a few of them won't have Thorogood as part of the set. The tour will travel to North Carolina, New Jersey , Pennsylvania , Virginia, New York, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Massachusetts , Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, Tennessee, Missouri, Nebraska, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, California , and Utah.

There are also dates in Canada and at festivals in Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands and France.
