George Thorogood and The Destroyers

With over 15 million albums sold over the course of a 40-year career, the man behind Bad to the Bone rolls in and invites us to his Rock Party! An hour and a half of saturated guitars, energetic riffs and an avalanche of success to take us on the highway of rock at full speed.

“I’m happy to say, after all these years, that George is still ‘Bad To The Bone’ and he’s never let go of the true spirit of rock ’n roll!” says the L.A. Daily News

“Thorogood is a guitar-blazing revivalist whose enthusiasm and showmanship make the music fresh,” says the
Baltimore Sun

“He’s got charisma and personality to burn, a fact that becomes evident the moment he walks on stage,” says the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
