Bad to the Bone: George Thorogood & The Destroyers Hit the Capitol

George Thorogood

WHEELING –George Thorogood & The Destroyers will bring The Baddest Show on Earth tour to the Capitol Theatre on Saturday, June 28, in Wheeling, with special guest, Alastair Greene.

Show time is 8 p.m.

In a five-decade career fueled by 8,000-plus live shows, more than 15 million albums sold and a global reputation as “the band that plays hot enough to melt the polar icecaps” and “one of the five best acts left out of The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,” where can “one of the most iconic bands in rock history” possibly go from here?

“That’s all pretty good for the first 50 years,” George Thorogood said with a laugh. “But we keep working harder, digging deeper and playing stronger. Now it’s time to go back out there and do some serious rockin’.”

For George Thorogood & The Destroyers, serious rockin’ will always be what they do best. And for 2025, The Baddest Show On Earth Tour will bring the guitar-slinging, amp-blasting, roof-shaking rock party like never before.

Thorogood and longtime Destroyers Jeff Simon (drums), Bill Blough (bass), Jim Suhler (guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone) are now taking all the drum-bashing, bass-pounding, sax-wailing, monster guitar energy of the past five decades and pouring it into The Baddest Show On Earth Tour, with “the boogie-blues Sinatra” as its relentless ringmaster.

“If the circus makes everyone feel like a kid again, this tour will make you feel like a teenager,” Thorogood said with a grin. “I consider us to be a musical high-wire act that works without a net, and we’ll be bringing all the danger, thrills and fun that our audiences can handle. Because that’s what great rock and roll is all about.”
