On Saturday, April 30, at 7 p.m., Rockstar Lounge will host Eliminator: The Ultimate ZZ Top Tribute Band.
Hailing from Chicago, Eliminator has performed from coast to coast, recreating the complete ZZ Top concert experience at festivals, fairs, major motorcycle rallies, convention centers, bars, and casinos.
You may recall seeing this well-oiled machine at the 2019 BBQ Ribfest where they won over the crowd at Headwaters Park with “La Grange,” “Tush,” “Legs,” and all the other ZZ Top hits. Together, the trio perfectly emulate the sound and style, right down to the beards of “That Little Ol’ Band from Texas.”
Rochester, Indiana’s own Bachelor Road will open the show that evening with another act yet to be announced.
General admission and VIP seating tickets are available via TicketWeb.
