George Thorogood & The Destroyers have announced the first 21 dates for the 2026 continuation of their “Baddest Show On Earth Tour.” Beginning March 6 in Highland, California, the first leg of the tour extends into British Columbia and Alberta, Canada.

“When we decided to call this tour ‘The Baddest Show On Earth,’ we had no doubt we could back it up night after night,” states Thorogood in a release. “We’re playing great venues in some of our favorite markets, and it’s guaranteed we can make you feel like a teenager again. Time to get on the bus, hit the highway and bring the rock party to the people for 2026.”

Thorogood has lots to celebrate after five decades, 8,000+ live performances and more than 15 million albums sold, his extensive and exuberant hit list includes “I Drink Alone,” “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,” “Move It On Over,” “Who Do You Love” and the definitive “baddest” anthem “Bad To The Bone.”

Thorogood and his longtime band including Jeff Simon (drums), Bill Blough (bass), Jim Suhler (guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone) recently wrapped tours with Sammy Hagar, ZZ Top and John Fogerty. Thorogood is rounding out 2025, with his iconic guitar placed on permanent exhibit at The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, a Las Vegas Raiders halftime performance with more than 54,000 in attendance and the premiere of the top-rated PBS special “Recorded Live at Analog” airing in 75+ markets – as well as streaming on PBS.org and YouTube into 2026.
