La Futura Tour

The La Futura Tour is a worldwide concert tour by American rock band ZZ Top. Presented in support of their latest album, La Futura, the tour is visiting indoor and outdoor theaters, arenas, and festivals in North America, Australia, and Europe. To represent the novelty of La Futura, it was intended to differ from the group's tours in the past. The tour was an intermediately staged visual presentation by incorporating a "feature film" for each song performed.

ZZ Top concert chronology

The concept behind the La Futura Tour was inspired by the concept of cinema. The stage includes a large backdrop video screen that shows abstract images that align with the content of each song in the set list. Whereas they were known for their elaborate stage sets in the 1970s, ZZ Top's La Futura performances were largely visual; on stage, a portion of the group's MTV music videos are shown on the backdrop. In contrast to other ZZ Top tours, the set list featured songs from La Futura.

Consisting of eight legs and 176 shows, the tour began on October 2, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois and finished on July 2, 2014 in Saarbrücken, Germany. The first four legs alternated between North America, Australia, and Europe. Although the tour evoked a variety of responses from music critics, it was mostly well received.
