VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Two of America's biggest classic rock bands are coming to Virginia Beach next summer.

Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top announced an extension of their co-headlining tour, "The Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour."

More than 30 shows were added to the tour, including a trip to the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater at Virginia Beach on Saturday, Sept. 7, 2024.

General tickets go on sale Friday, Nov. 3 at 10 a.m. ET. To get your tickets, click here.

Lynyrd Skynyrd is currently celebrating the 50th anniversary of its debut album, "(Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)," released in 1973.

The band is currently comprised of Johnny Van Zant, Rickey Medlocke, Damon Johnson, Mark “Sparky” Matejka, Michael Cartellone, Keith Christopher, Peter Keys, Carol Chase, and Stacy Michelle.

ZZ Top has been performing for over a half-century, delivering rock, blues, and boogie on stage and studio to millions of devoted fans.

The band’s line-up of the bearded Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard -- who ironically is clean-shaven -- remained intact for more than 50 years. When Dusty passed away in the summer of 2021, Elwood Francis entered the picture accepting the directive from Dusty to be the perfect choice to stand in on the bass guitar.

The Outlaws will also be performing on the tour as special guests.
