Billy F Gibbons of ZZ Top will take the stage at Allegiant Stadium for halftime of Monday Night Football when the Las Vegas Raiders host the Atlanta Falcons.
With his signature beard and African headgear, Gibbons is instantly recognizable and best known as the centerpiece of ZZ Top. Gibbons is widely regarded as one of the world's finest guitarists working in the blues-rock idiom. The sound originates from the uncanny knack to squeeze unheard-of sounds out of the electric guitar with the blues, pop, R&B, country, gospel, western and flares of Western Africa. The down 'n dirty growl is unmistakably heard on hits such as "La Grange," "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Cheap Sunglasses." Billy's solo albums – the Afro-Cuban flavored "Perfectamundo," the bluesy "The Big Bad Blues," and the hard rockin' "Hardware" – all represent what he refers to as the "Three T's:" tone, taste and tenacity.
Multifaceted recording artist Danielle Bradbery will perform the National Anthem pregame. Bradbery has spent the last decade crafting a unique and soulful sound that is rooted in country and blended with elements of pop, R&B and beyond since her breakout at 16 years old when she won Season 4 of "The Voice." Her self-titled debut album in 2013 and the 2017 sophomore album "I Don't Believe We've Met" both reached the Top 10 of the Billboard country albums chart. Recent singles such as "Never Have I Ever" and "Break My Heart Again," along with the GOLD-certified "Stop Draggin' Your Boots," have amassed over 125 million streams to date. In 2024, Bradbery released "Danielle," her first album in over six years and first-ever independent release.
