Dwight Yoakam Announces Australian Tour

ZZ Top have adjusted two dates on their extensive 2026 The Big One! Tour to accommodate Billy Gibbons' appearance at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival, while the band's international touring schedule continues across Europe, North America and South America through to late November.

Dwight Yoakam's 1986 debut album Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. turns 40 with its place in country music history firmly established, from its unlikely beginnings as a self-financed independent EP to its role in the rise of the New Traditionalist movement.

Two giants of American music, Dwight Yoakam and ZZ Top, are teaming up for the Dos Amigos Tour 2026, bringing together decades of hits and a signature live performance energy. The tour launches March 26 in Brookings, South Dakota, and wraps up May 23 in Huntington, West Virginia, covering major markets across the Midwest, South, and East.

Chelsea Handler, Ethan Hawke, Gabriel Iglesias, Helen Mirren, Jennifer Garner, Owen Wilson, and Woody Harrelson have been added to Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90, A Star-Studded Concert Celebrating Willie’s 90th Birthday.

For twenty years, New West Records has been issuing great performances from the archives of the series Austin City Limits on CD, video and vinyl. On August 11, they will add two new editions with Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakam.

Had Elvis Presley lived his next producer may have been David Bowie.

It's that time of year when all the big festival lineups are announced and today's includes the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival to be held from June 13 to 16 in Manchester, TN.
