With more than five decades of music behind them, ZZ Top has built one of rock’s most recognizable careers through a signature blend of blues-driven rock, sharp songwriting, and unmistakable style. Formed in Texas in 1969, the band rose from regional clubs to international fame with a sound rooted in the blues and defined by tight musicianship and swagger.

Their breakthrough came in the 1970s with acclaimed albums Tres Hombres and Fandango!, featuring early hits like “La Grange” and “Tush,” songs that remain staples of classic rock radio today.

In the 1980s, ZZ Top reached massive commercial success with Eliminator, which produced iconic hits including “Gimme All Your Lovin’,” “Sharp Dressed Man,” and “Legs.” The album’s heavy MTV rotation helped introduce the band to a new generation of fans. Follow-up Afterburner continued that momentum, blending blues roots with modern rock production.

Today, the band features longtime members Billy Gibbons and Frank Beard, along with Elwood Francis, who joined in recent years. Together, they continue to tour worldwide, delivering the high-energy performances and signature sound that have defined ZZ Top for more than 50 years.

Known for their longevity and unmistakable image, ZZ Top remains one of rock’s most enduring live acts.

“We’re thrilled to welcome ZZ Top back to FireKeepers. They always deliver an electrifying show, and it’s exciting to bring their iconic sound and energy to our guests in an intimate setting,” said Jim Wise, Vice President of Marketing at FireKeepers Casino Hotel.

As one of today’s premiere stand-up comedians, Jo Koy has come a long way from his modest
beginnings performing in a Las Vegas coffee house. Jo’s uniquely relatable comedy pulls inspiration from
his colorful family that has reached all kinds of people and has translated into sold-out arenas around the
world.

The comedian continues to be one of the top 10 grossing stand-up comedians each year according to
Pollstar and Billboard. Today, he continues selling out and breaking sales records at some of the most
prestigious venues around the world including Mall of Asia Arena (Manila, PH), The Forum (Los Angeles),
Coca-Cola Arena (Dubai), ICC Theatre (Sydney, AU), O2 Arena (London), Madison Square Garden (New
York City), and American Airlines Arena (Dallas) to name a few. In 2022, Koy kicked off his Funny Is
Funny World Tour by selling-out the Climate Pledge Arena (over 14,000 tickets) in his hometown of
Seattle and ended the tour with a sold-out show at Tacoma Dome (over 19,000 tickets). In 2017, Koy
broke a record for the most tickets sold by a single artist at 23,000 tickets and 11 sold-out shows at The
Neal S. Blaisdell Concert Hall in Honolulu. In response, the mayor’s office in Honolulu proclaimed
November 24th as “Jo Koy Day.”

Koy starred in the 2022 Universal Picture comedy Easter Sunday, the film takes place around a struggling
single father that returns to his hometown of Daly City, CA to survive a chaotic Easter with his family. The
film is a love letter to his Filipino roots and is loosely based on Jo Koy’s life experiences and stand-up
comedy. Easter Sunday was produced by Steven Spielberg’s production company Amblin Partners and is
the first motion picture film to feature an all-Filipino cast and be produced by a major studio. In honor of
the film, Daly City gave Jo the Keys To The City and declared July 22nd “Jo Koy Day.”

In 2023, Koy appeared in Disney’s Haunted Mansion and voiced characters in Netflix’s animated films,
Monkey King and Leo. In 2024, he was most recently heard voicing the character Monkey King in the
Paramount+ film, The Tiger’s Apprentice. He’s also appeared in Netflix’s Mr. Iglesias and Comedy
Central’s Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens. He’ll next been heard voicing Datu in the upcoming
Dreamworks Animation film, Forgotten Island in theaters September 25th, 2026.

In 2023, Koy inked a two-special deal with Netflix, with the first special released in 2024. Jo Koy: Live
From Brooklyn, filmed at the historic King’s Theatre, premiered globally on June 4 and was the #6 most
viewed special that year, with over 240 million minutes watched. The second special was recently filmed
in Stockton, CA, set to release later this year. His other Netflix stand-up specials include Live From The
Los Angeles Forum, Comin’ In Hot and Live From Seattle. Overall, Koy has had seven highly rated and
successful specials on Comedy Central and Netflix. In June 2020, the comedian released his first variety
special, Jo Koy: In His Elements on Netflix in which Koy brings the laughs and beats to Manila,
spotlighting local culture in a one-of-a-kind show featuring Filipino-American comedians, DJs and B-boys.

On March 21st, 2026, Koy alongside Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias became the first to headline a sold-out
comedy show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles for their One Night Only! show.

Koy continues to push for representation in Hollywood and shine a light on Filipino talent. Last year Koy
joined Nurse Unseen, a documentary from Emmy-winning director Michele Josue, as an executive
producer. The film explores the little-known history and humanity of the unsung Filipino nurses who
risked their lives on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic while facing a resurgence of anti-Asian hate
in the streets.

In recognition of his impact on Hollywood and comedy, Koy was honored with a hand and footprint
ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre on February 11, 2026, joining an elite group of distinguished
entertainers. In 2027, he will be further recognized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, honoring
his lasting contributions to the entertainment industry.

In 2023, Jo came on as a producer for the David Byrne-Fatboy Slim musical, Here Lies Love. Here Lies
Love told the story of Imelda Marcos’ rise to power and subsequent fall at the hands of the Philippine
People Power Revolution. The show received four Tony Award nominations during its run and was the
first to feature an all-Filipino cast on Broadway.

In 2022, Koy was once again acknowledged for his advocacy for more representation in entertainment
and was given the proclamation in Los Angeles that October 7th would be declared “Jo Koy Day.”
In 2021, Koy released his first autobiography, Mixed Plate: Chronicles of an All-American Combo with
Harper Collins Publishers to raved reviews. In this funny and moving memoir, Koy uncovers the stories
behind his stand-up: the conflict, the drama and the laughter as he struggles to find his place in the
entertainment industry, his home and around the world.
