GEORGE THOROGOOD & THE DESTROYERS TO BRING “THE BADDEST SHOW ON EARTH TOUR” TO RIVERS CASINO PORTSMOUTH

PORTSMOUTH, Va. — Dec. 12, 2024 – Huge news for Hampton Roads rock ’n’ rollers … George Thorogood & The Destroyers are bringing their legendary rockstar swagger to Rivers Casino Portsmouth for “The Baddest Show on Earth Tour.” Tickets for the band’s 8 p.m. performance in The Event Center on Saturday, March 1, 2025, are on sale now, starting at $49.

“The Baddest Show on Earth Tour” brings their guitar-slinging, amp-blasting, roof-shaking, and “serious rockin” to Portsmouth like never before. Guests should expect an evening of Thorogood classics like “Bad To The Bone,” “Who Do You Love?,” “Move It On Over,” “I Drink Alone,” and many more in this high-energy performance.

With a five-decade career fueled by more than 8,000 live shows and over 15 million albums sold, George Thorogood & The Destroyers has earned a global reputation — established by Rolling Stone —  as “the band that plays hot enough to melt the polar ice caps.” 

George and longtime Destroyers Jeff Simon (drums), Bill Blough (bass), Jim Suhler (guitar), and Buddy Leach (saxophone) are pouring all the drum-bashing, bass-pounding, sax-wailing, monster guitar energy of the past five decades into this tour, with “the boogie-blues Sinatra” as its relentless ringmaster.

“We are thrilled to bring another crowd-pleasing concert to our venue and look forward to a dynamic, high-voltage evening that feels more like a rock party for our guests,” said Steve Tortorello, Vice President of Marketing, Rivers Casino Portsmouth.
