George Thorogood & The Destroyers

The Baddest Show on Earth Tour

George’s acclaimed 2017 solo disc Party Of One, 2020’s epic George Thorogood & The Destroyers Live In Boston 1982: The Complete Concert, and 2022’s The Original George Thorogood – continues to dominate streaming charts worldwide. As live performers, they will always be untouchable: whether it’s been their legendary 50 States/50 Days Tour, landmark performances at Live Aid and on SNL, opening club dates for Muddy Waters or stadium shows for The Rolling Stones, and recent smash tours with John Fogerty, ZZ Top and Sammy Hagar, one of rock’s premier showmen and his band remain among the most reliable/formidable concert acts on the planet. “Over the past three years alone, we’ve played more than 200 shows in 20 countries throughout North America, Europe and Australia,” Thorogood says with pride. “Don’t let anyone tell you this gig won’t keep you energized. I defy bands half our age to put on a show like we do night after night.”

Offstage, George & The Destroyers also set a stellar example with their commitment to humanitarian causes that include a long-term relationship with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, a current partnership with Musically Fed, their annual ‘Who Do You Love’ holiday charity initiative now celebrating its 10^th record-setting year, and The Marla Thorogood Memorial Fund for Ovarian Cancer Research, created in memory of George’s wife who passed away in 2019. . “My generation was raised on kindness and empathy,” Thorogood explains. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a rock star or the milkman. If you’ve been blessed with a successful career, you have an obligation to give back and help others. Wherever The Destroyers can spread love and make a difference, count us in.”

If the true spirit of rock & roll can turn uncharted territory into a blow-out party, then George Thorogood & The Destroyers are among rock’s great conquerors.  And in a career which has seen him recently receive such monumental tributes as The B.B. King Award from The Montreal International Jazz Festival, being made honorary members of The Bo Diddley Centennial Committee by Bo’s daughter and grandson, and being invited to perform at The Grand Ole Opry, are there any milestones left for Thorogood to achieve in the next 50 years? “It’s crazy to think that we’ve spent the last half century performing music we love for audiences who love what we do,” George says. “But when you’ve got the best job in the world, you can’t ever rest on your laurels. Accolades are nice, but connecting with people is what really matters. We not only work hard to bring our best, but to keep getting better. That’s the only mission. That’s rock & roll.”
