A pair of classic rock favorites are bringing the Sharp Dressed Simple Man tour to the Pittsburgh area late next summer.
Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top, both members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, will visit the Pavilion at Star Lake on Sept. 3, 2023. Uncle Kracker will open the show.
ZZ Top, best known for songs like “Gimme All Your Lovin’,” “Legs,” “La Grange,” “Tush” and “Sharp Dressed Man,” just played Star Lake this summer as part of the Outlaw Music Festival. The band is also soldiering on after longtime bassist Dusty Hill died last year.
Lynyrd Skynyrd, famous for “Free Bird,” “Sweet Home Alabama,” “What’s Your Name,” “Simple Man” and “Tuesday’s Gone” among many others, last played in Pittsburgh in 2018 on their Last of the Street Survivors Farewell tour. The band features one member of the original lineup, guitarist Gary Rossington, as well as singer Johnny Van Zant, brother of the band’s late singer, Ronnie Van Zant.
Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday at livenation.com. There is a presale available for Citi credit card holders on Tuesday as well as a Live Nation presale on Thursday.
