The ZZ Top setlist for “The Big One! Tour” has been revealed. ZZ Top is known for blues-rock riffs, old-school swagger, and live shows that feel loose in the best way. Their concerts usually move between hard-driving songs and slower, blues-heavy moments, which keeps the set from feeling one-note. That mix is a big part of why their live shows have held up for so long. The Big One! Tour is expected to keep that same feel, with a set built around longtime staples and a few songs that keep things interesting.
What songs are on ZZ Top’s The Big One! Tour setlist?
The following is what ZZ Top is expected to play in their setlist for The Big One! Tour. This is based on how the early shows have played out, where a pattern can be seen. The set doesn’t feel random, it seems built to keep the energy moving, with the big classics doing a lot of the work and other songs filling things out around them. From those first few shows, a feeling of how the night is meant to unfold can be seen. As always, this expected setlist is subject to change.
- Got Me Under Pressure
- I Thank You (Sam & Dave cover)
- Waitin’ for the Bus
- Jesus Just Left Chicago
- Gimme All Your Lovin’
- Pearl Necklace
- I’m Bad, I’m Nationwide
- I Gotsta Get Paid

Once the show gets rolling, little things can still change from night to night. A song might run a little longer, or show up earlier in the set, just depending on how the room feels. The band can also switch things around in the moment if another song feels right there instead. Those are small changes, but they help keep the show from feeling too fixed or overly planned.
The Big One! Tour feels very in line with how ZZ Top usually plays live. The set leans on the songs people want to hear, but it still leaves room for the deeper blues-rock cuts that give the show its character. That keeps it from feeling like a straight run through the hits. It all moves in a way that feels easy and natural, with the bigger moments landing where they should without taking over the whole show.
