If youâre calling your tour The Baddest Show On Earth, youâd better have the talent, the passion, and the stage-shaking, roof-raising, guitar-snarling velocity to back it up. George Thorogood & The Destroyers deliver all that and then some. âOur job description is âLive Rock Performersâ,â says George Thorogood. âAnd when we hit town, that town stays hit.â Trust the man who speaks from experience: For the past 53 years and 8000+ shows, Thorogood and his longtime Destroyers â Jeff Simon (drums), Bill Blough (bass), Jim Suhler (guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone) â have remained among the most beloved/formidable live acts on the planet. And in 2026, the continuation of their Baddest Show On Earth Tour is the nightly proof. âThe All-American Rock & Roll Party Bandâ (Goldmine Magazine) still perform classics like âOne Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beerâ, âMove It On Overâ, âWho Do You Love?â, âI Drink Aloneâ, âGet A Haircutâ and âBad To The Boneâ with the trademark swagger and musical muscle that famously led Rolling Stone to once declare, âGeorge Thorogood & The Destroyers play rock & roll hot enough to melt the polar icecaps and flood the worldâs major population centers.â And whether itâs been their legendary 50 States/50 Days Tour, landmark performances at Live Aid and on SNL, opening club dates for Muddy Waters and stadium shows for The Rolling Stones, or recent smash tours with John Fogerty, ZZ Top and Sammy Hagar, the band recognizes the timeless impact of a great concert. âBefore we ever recorded a record, we were a touring band,â George says. âEven after selling 15 million albums, weâre still a touring band. Touring isnât just in our blood; itâs the reason we exist.â
