POP ZZ Top

There’s ample reason to celebrate this week as the most famous beards in rock’n’roll make their first Scottish pitstop in eons. The tres Texan hombres – Dusty Hill, Billy Gibbons and Frank Beard – have been trucking on for almost 50 years now, like a cooler, southern fried Status Quo, but sound as invigorated as ever on their most recent album, La Futura, released in 2012 and produced by fellow bearded ace, Rick Rubin. O2 Academy, Glasgow, 26 July, 0844 477 2000.
