Some tours are good, some great, and a few are “Bad To The Bone”.
George Thorogood and the Destroyers “Bad All Over The World – 50 Years Of Rock Tour” is unquestionably the latter.
“Since (our) first gig, we have stayed true to ourselves and the music we love,” said Thorogood Instagram.
“We decided to rejoice our first half-century by throwing the most important and worst rock party ever.”
Over 37 grand concert events, the legendary classic rock/bluesmen will take their big and bad rock party to theaters, arenas and amphitheaters across the US and Canada.
This features a series of concert events within the Northeast.
First, on May 21, it’s going to hit Big Flats, NY’s Tags Summer Stage.
From there, Thorogood and the Destroyers will drop into Ocean City’s Music Pier on August 28 and 29.
And we’re comfortable to inform you that the ticket prices themselves will not be that bad.
We actually found a couple of for $22 before fees at Vivid Seats.
That is lower than “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer” would cost you.
So when you want to see Thorogood and his iconic guitar licks live this 12 months, here’s all the pieces you wish to know.
