George Thorogood & The Destroyers are bringing The Baddest Show on Earth to Forum Melbourne on Monday 21 April.

Since 1976, George Thorogood & The Destroyers have sold over 15 million albums, built a catalogue of classic hits, and played more than 8,000 ferocious live shows including their 2022 tour of Australia and New Zealand on their 45th Anniversary ‘Good To Be Bad Tour’.

Through it all, they’ve remained one of the most consistent – and consistently passionate –progenitors of blues-based rock in pop culture history.

For Thorogood and his long time band – Jeff Simon (drums, percussion), Bill Blough (bass guitar), Jim Suhler (rhythm guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone) – the power to rock audiences has been both battle cry and creed since the beginning. 

It’s on stage that George & The Destroyers flip the switch delivering their signature hits “Get A Haircut”, “I Drink Alone”, “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer”, “Move It On Over”, “Who Do You Love” and the definitive badass anthem “Bad To The Bone”.
