The legendary funk band Zapp, who dominated the 1980s, will headline Billboard Live’s year-end event. Carrying on the late Roger Troutman’s legacy, they’ve etched their name into the history of Black music with a distinctive sound that makes full use of the talk box. Not only do their classic hits keep the floor buzzing, but in 2018 they released a new album—the first in 17 years—and have continued touring worldwide, continually refreshing their fiery sound. This is a must-see opportunity to feel firsthand the groove that embodies the essence of funk. December 31 will be a landmark countdown concert—the first of the Reiwa era. As the dawn of 2020 approaches, we hope you welcome it with an energetic, positive, non-stop show that will have everyone on their feet.
