George Thorogood & The Destroyers: ‘The Baddest Show On Earth’ Tour Heading to Seminole Brighton Bay, May 10

George Thorogood & The Destroyers

 

George Thorogood & The Destroyers are taking their tour, “The Baddest Show On Earth” to Seminole Brighton Bay Hotel & Casino on Sunday, May 10 at 7 p.m.

Tickets starting at $93 will be available beginning Friday, January 23 at 10 a.m. via TICKETMASTER. Additional fees may apply. Artist fan club presale begins on Thursday, January 22 at 10 a.m.

If you’re calling your tour The Baddest Show On Earth, you’d 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.

“Our job description is ‘Live Rock Performers’,” says George Thorogood. “And when we hit town, that town stays hit.” Trust the man who speaks from experience: For the past 53 years and 8000+ shows, Thorogood and his longtime Destroyers – Jeff Simon (drums), Bill Blough (bass), Jim Suhler (guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone) – 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.

“The All-American Rock & Roll Party Band” (Goldmine Magazine) still perform classics like ‘One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer’, ‘Move It On Over’, ‘Who Do You Love?’, ‘I Drink Alone’, ‘Get A Haircut’ and ‘Bad To The Bone’ with the trademark swagger and musical muscle that famously led Rolling Stone to once declare, “George Thorogood & The Destroyers play rock & roll hot enough to melt the polar icecaps and flood the world’s major population centers.” And 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 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. “Before we ever recorded a record, we were a touring band,” George says. “Even after selling 15 million albums, we’re still a touring band. Touring isn’t just in our blood; it’s the reason we exist.”

But 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, and being invited to perform at The Grand Ole Opry, are there any milestones left for Thorogood to achieve? “The only question I ask myself is, ‘Do you know how lucky you are to still do what you love for a living?’, George says with a laugh. “Every night is another chance to deliver the best show of our lives and a new audience to send home believing in the power of rock & roll. And that’s the baddest success of all.”
