Billy F Gibbons and the BFG Band

Billy F Gibbons brings the BFG Band to The Avalon Theatre on February 5, 2026, at 6380 Fallsview Boulevard, Niagara Falls, Canada. Co-founder of ZZ Top, the Houston-born guitarist and singer forged a boogie-and-blues language built on repetitive riffs, gritty tones and a tight, unhurried pulse. Since the 2010s, he’s opened a solo chapter that widens the frame: Perfectamundo folds in Latin colors and looser grooves; The Big Bad Blues returns to straight-ahead blues rock with a mix of originals and covers; Hardware pushes into a rougher, desert-tinged rock register.

On stage, Gibbons connects these threads with economy and feel. Short, incisive solos, low-slung grooves and that dry Texas twang do the talking, carried by the BFG Band’s solid rhythm section and uncluttered arrangements. Between ZZ Top heritage and his recent records, the set maps out his trajectory across decades of playing, from boogie workouts to heavier, dustier rock, always anchored by the same taste for repetition, space and the blues.
