George Thorogood & The Destroyers have announced their 50th anniversary tour. After kicking off the year in February with a five-night run aboard the Rock Legends Cruise, Thorogood and the band launch their “Bad All Over The World Tour” on March 17th and 18th in Lincoln City, Oregon at Chinook Winds Casino Resort. As it stands now, the tour will run through May 17th when the band hits Niagara Falls, Ontario's Fallsview Casino Resort. Additional cities will be announced soon.
The trek, which will see Thorogood playing his first Canadian dates in over three years, will hit British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Alberta, Quebec, and Manitoba.
Thorogood said in the band's tour announcement: “From that very first show, we’ve stayed true to ourselves and the music we love. We’ve decided to celebrate our first half-century by throwing the biggest and baddest rock party ever.”
George Thorogood told us that the secret to his continued success over the years simply amounts to delivering a quality product at a fair market price: “A good cheeseburger will never go out of style. Some things come and go — you drive by a 7-Eleven, or a liquor store; one sign that's always in the window is Budweiser. Not Dom Perignon — Budweiser. So I figure George Thorogood and the Destroyers are the Chevy, Chevy Suburbans and double cheeseburgers and Budweiser of America. And that's not a Sh Na Na thing, it's just something people can depend on that doesn't cost a lot of money!”
