Jacksonville, Fla. - ZZ Top will be unable to perform at Monster Energy Welcome To Rockville at Metropolitan Park, on May 1. They were also forced to cancel their spring tour, due to Dusty Hill’s injury. Due to the lineup change, Rob Zombie and Five Finger Death Punch will both have extended sets. ZZ Top released the following statement:
“Last Thursday, Dusty Hill was injured at the Lone Star Events Center in Lubbock, Texas that prevented the evening's ZZ Top performance from taking place. Dusty has subsequently undergone treatment for a fractured shoulder. ZZ Top's concert dates on the current tour have been postponed through May 7.
Dusty Hill offered this comment, "My physicians told me that this type of injury is usually associated with contact sports. I'm not sure bass-playing qualifies as such but they're doing their best to get me back in the game as soon as possible. Thanks to everyone for all the good wishes we've received. We're determined to enjoy a speedy recovery and see you soon!"
The lineup for April 30 at Monster Energy Welcome To Rockville is: 3 Doors Down, Asking Alexandria, Bring Me The Horizon, Bullet For My Valentine, Candlebox, Cane Hill, Collective Soul, Disturbed, Enter Shikari, Escape The Fate, Filter, Hellyeah, Lacey Sturm, Miss May I, Monster Truck, Parkway Drive, Pennywise, Pop Evil, Red Sun Rising, Shinedown, Sixx:A.M. and Wilson.
