Group was supposed to headline The Venetian Theatre in March
ZZ Top has announced that their March 20-28th residency at The Venetian Theatre inside The Venetian Las Vegas has been rescheduled out of an abundance of caution due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Texas rockers shared the news on social media.
“We will make a return engagement at The Venetian with specific dates to be announced soon,” they share in a statement. “Thank you for understanding and look forward to seeing you all in Vegas soon!”
The group is scheduled to co-headline the 20/20 Vision Tour this fall with Def Leppard. The trek kicks off on September 21st at Times Union Center in Albany, NY and wraps October 18th in Spokane, WA.
The news follows every major entertainment event either canceling or postponing due to the world health crisis. Live Nation, the world’s largest concert promoter, has suspended all domestic and international touring through at least the end of March. The company will re-evaluate the outbreak in hopes to resume touring in May or June.
Last week, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus a worldwide pandemic. Nearly 200k cases have been reported in 110 countries with over 7k deaths. Nearly 90k people have contracted and survived the virus that was discovered last year.
This week, U.S. President Donald Trump declared a state of emergency and suggesting American stay at home as often as possible. He and the White House’s coronavirus task force released guidelines they hope will slow the spread of the pandemic within 15 days.
