ZZ Top in Latin America 2026: The Big One! Tour Dates in Mexico, Chile, Brazil and Argentina
ZZ Top bring The Big One! Tour to Latin America for eight dates between November 9 and 24, 2026: three in Mexico (Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey), one in Chile (Santiago), three in Brazil (Porto Alegre, Curitiba, São Paulo) and one in Argentina (Buenos Aires). Press reports call the South American shows the band's first in 16 years.
Drummer Frank Beard died on August 17, 2026. The band said on its site that it would resume the tour on August 22 in Austin and keep going. The artist's tour page still lists all eight Latin American dates without saying whether they are affected.
All eight dates are in our catalogue and linked below.

City by City: Mexico

Auditorio Telmex is in Zapopan. Date, venue and seller come from the artist's tour page. Ticketmaster México's page returned an error when we checked, so no time was read and availability is not confirmed. More November events in our Guadalajara guide.

Monterrey: Friday, November 13
Auditorio Banamex: per the artist's tour page. Ticketmaster México's page returned an error when we checked, so no time was read and availability is not confirmed. Two third-party listings say November 12, while the artist's page, Excelsior and our listing say November 13. More November events in our Monterrey guide.
Five More Dates: Chile, Brazil and Argentina
All five are on the artist's tour page.
| Date | City | Venue | Seller |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monday, November 16 | Santiago, Chile | Teatro Caupolicán | Puntoticket |
| Wednesday, November 18 | Porto Alegre, Brazil | Auditório Araújo Vianna (moved from KTO Arena, per Jornal do Comércio) | Uhuu |

Santiago: Monday, November 16
Teatro Caupolicán: Puntoticket's page shows a 9pm start and an all-ages event, with no doors time. Fan Club sale and the 30% discount tier are marked sold out, so the date is partly sold out; general sale is marked available.
Porto Alegre: Wednesday, November 18
Auditório Araújo Vianna (Av. Osvaldo Aranha, 685) is the venue in our catalogue. The artist's tour page still says KTO Arena. Jornal do Comércio reported on September 1 a move to Araújo Vianna, with doors at 7pm and show at 9pm, tickets still on sale via Uhuu and tickets already bought remaining valid; some international listings said Pepsi On Stage. Uhuu's page sat behind a CAPTCHA, so the venue and availability are not confirmed.
Curitiba: Friday, November 20
Igloo Super Hall (Rua Dino Bertoldi, 740, Tarumã), per the artist's tour page, which links Uhuu; Rolling Stone Brasil reported doors at 7pm and show at 9pm. Uhuu's page was not readable, so availability is not confirmed.
São Paulo: Saturday, November 21
Suhai Music Hall (Av. das Nações Unidas, Jurubatuba): its own page shows doors at 7pm, show at 9pm, an 18+ classification with guardian rules for minors alongside, and tickets via Uhuu marked "Vendas disponíveis", with no sold-out marker when we checked. Rolling Stone Brasil reports 18+ for all three Brazilian shows.
Buenos Aires: Tuesday, November 24
Movistar Arena, Humboldt 450, Villa Crespo, per Indie Hoy, which lists the date with tickets through the venue's site. The artist's tour page links the arena's own show page, which did not render for us, so no time was read; resale snippets disagree on whether it is sold out, so availability is not confirmed.
How to Plan
- Buy only from the seller named for your date, and type its address yourself rather than following a social or resale link.
- Confirm every start time. Times above come from two venue pages, one seller page and press reports; we found no support acts.
- Re-check Porto Alegre. Confirm the venue with Uhuu before booking travel.
- Expect changes. The seller's page is the source of truth.
- We don't publish prices: they vary by sector and sale phase.
