In a five-decade career fueled by 8,000+ live shows, more than 15 million albums sold, and reputation that proceeds them by a mile, where can George Thorogood & the Destroyers go from here? They’re referred to by WNBF Binghamton as “one of the 5 best acts left out of The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame” and “one of the most iconic bands in rock history” by Rapid City Journal. “That’s all pretty good for the first 50 years,” George Thorogood says with a laugh. “But we keep working harder, digging deeper and playing stronger. Now it’s time to go back out there and do some serious rockin’.”

For George Thorogood & The Destroyers, serious rockin’ will always be what they do best. And for 2025, The Baddest Show On Earth Tour will bring the guitar-slinging, amp-blasting, roof-shaking rock party like never before.
