George Thorogood, The Destroyers

On June 26, 2026, George Thorogood & The Destroyers take the stage at the Bataclan in Paris as part of their The Baddest Show On Earth tour. Active since 1976, the band led by the guitarist-singer shapes a straightforward blues-rock sound, fueled by boogie and rock’n’roll. Thorogood deploys his instantly recognizable slide playing, gravelly vocals and a tight rhythm built for live performance. No flashy showmanship — just clean riffs and a propulsive groove.

On the bill: a roughly 90-minute set that spans the decades. Essentials like Bad To The Bone, I Drink Alone, One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer and Move It On Over all have their place, replayed with the compact sound that has become their trademark. The band delivers a repertoire cut for the stage, between amplified blues and rhythm and blues, direct and faithful to the songs. A chance to grasp the electric DNA of George Thorogood & The Destroyers, as heard since their beginnings and continually honed on stage.
