The Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour was a co-headlining North American concert tour featuring legendary Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd and blues-rock icons ZZ Top. The tour was named after a combination of both bands' iconic songs — Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man" and ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man". The tour kicked off in the summer of 2023 and brought together the two rock bands in concerts throughout the United States.

Background

Announced in December 2022, the tour was conceived as a celebration of both bands' lasting legacies in rock music. ZZ Top, known for their Texas blues-infused rock sound and signature beards, joined forces with Lynyrd Skynyrd.

This marked the first tour following the death of Gary Rossington, the last remaining original member; his memory was honored throughout the tour.
