4Wall Uplifts ZZ Top’s Elevation Tour

Nashville, TN - Iconic blues-rock band ZZ Top has been keeping the momentum high on their expansive, multi-leg 2025 "Elevation Tour." With over 50 live performances and more than a dozen shows newly added on the tour, 4Wall Entertainment supplied a lighting, rigging, and control package to accentuate the band's timeless sound across the country. 

The band's team, comprised of Production Manager Jake Mann, Lighting Director John "Lucky" Lucksinger, Road Manager Ali Hocking, and Tour Manager Pablo Gamboa, was presented with a unique design request from vocalist-guitarist Billy Gibbons.  

"Billy Gibbons came back from Europe and gave a directive after seeing a performance from Queens of the Stones Age," the team said. "It was completely unexpected from the direction we had been taking, but of course we were going to oblige. The concept came from a video he'd shown to us, and we proceeded from there."  

With extensive experience in lighting design, Lucksinger utilized ACME Gemini, CHAUVET Pro Color STRIKE M and onAir Panel Mini IPs as the main fixtures in bringing the guitarist's direction to life on stage. The fixtures played key roles in notable moments, such as highlights on drummer Frank Beard's signature drum rolls and a dynamic closing act.  

 
The seamless coordination between the band's crew, 4Wall VP of Live Events Michael Golden, and 4Wall Project Manager Max Lenox was an integral part of delivering a vibrant experience for every performance. 

"Our production team, alongside Michael Golden and everyone at 4Wall, allowed us to experience a great space to design and package the tour's production," they expressed. "Being able to build at the 4Wall facility makes it pleasant in having such support and inventory available in the building. Michael was exceptional in making sure we had all the bits and pieces to make it happen. Max and company had a solution for any requests.  We couldn't have asked for better!" 

 
ZZ Top's Elevation tour is currently ongoing until November. Tickets are available at zztop.com/tour.
