ZZ Top [ tickets ] will get back on the road this spring and summer, with plans including several festival appearances, as the band continues to work sporadically on a new studio album.

The iconic Texas trio's spring schedule kicks off with an April 29 show at West Palm Beach, FL's Sun Fest, and continues through a May 14 show in Belton, TX, before scattered dates in June and July. The group has also lined up several South American appearances, along with a July 24 slot at London's High Voltage Festival. International dates can be found at the band's website; North American dates are shown at right.

In the studio, the Texas trio continues to work with producer Rick Rubin on a long-awaited follow-up to 2003's "Mescalero." The band inked a deal in 2008 with Rubin's American Records label.

"We've enjoyed a friendship with Rick, which now includes an opportunity to focus our collective energy in a studio setting, which is actually more like bringing the live show into the room," guitarist Billy Gibbons told Spinner.com last year. "The art of capturing the maverick rogue called 'live in the studio' is what Rick does so well--better than anyone."

The band also enlisted the help of garage-rock duo The Black Keys for the new set. "They're a couple of really fresh blues-based rockers that truly say it," Gibbons added.
