George Thorogood continues to extend his 2026 touring plans.

The blues-rock guitar legend has added more than a dozen new tour dates to his ongoing Baddest Show on Earth run. The previously announced first leg begins Mar. 6 and runs through April 4.

After a brief break, Thorogood will start the next batch of shows on May 1 in Port Chester, New York and his road work is presently set to conclude June 20 at the Holland International Blues Festival in the Netherlands. Tickets for the new dates will be available via presale Thursday (Jan. 22) and then will go on sale to the general public Friday (Jan. 23).

You can see more details at his official website. All of the current tour dates are below.

“When we decided to call this tour the 'Baddest Show On Earth’, we had no doubt we could back it up night after night,” Thorogood said in a press release. “We’re playing great venues in some of our favorite markets, and it’s guaranteed we can make you feel like a teenager again. Time to get on the bus, hit the highway and bring the rock party to the people for 2026.”

George Thorogood & The Destroyers have announced their 10th annual “Who Do You Love?” holiday campaign, which runs from November 18 to December 30 and is designed to raise awareness and support for 11 nonprofits close to the band’s heart.

“When I was a kid, my hero was Bobby Kennedy,” says George. “He said ‘Some men see things as they are and ask why? I dream things that never were and ask, why not?’ It was a message that spoke directly to my generation, and one that I’ll always carry with me.”

The campaign kicks off with The Marla Thorogood Memorial Fund for Ovarian Cancer Research, established in memory of George’s wife who passed away in 2019. $1 from every ticket sold at participating venues is donated to the fund, as is 100% of net proceeds from a limited edition commemorative t-shirt. All proceeds go toward research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, whose leading studies of gene mutations can help identify women at risk for ovarian and breast cancer.

Over the following 6 weeks, the band will also spotlight Musically Fed, Convoy Of Hope, Gibson Gives, Music Health Alliance, The Blues Foundation’s HART Fund, The Grammy Museum, Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, Chic Awearness, Firefighter Cancer Support Network, and The Guitar Center Music Foundation. Team Thorogood is currently producing a series short videos that will highlight each charity for posting on their popular Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X channels.

George Thorogood & The Destroyers are currently wrapping up a banner year that has included George’s famed Gibson ES-125TDC ‘Bad To The Bone’ guitar on permanent exhibit at The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame; a recent Las Vegas Raiders halftime performance, their upcoming induction to The Musicians Hall Of Fame; and the September 25th premiere of their top-rated PBS Special, Recorded Live At Analog. The band’s acclaimed Baddest Show On Earth Tour resumes in March 2026.

George Thorogood & The Destroyers recently announced the first 21 dates on the 2026 continuation of their Baddest Show On Earth Tour. Starting March 6 in Highland, California, the first leg of the tour will extend into British Columbia and Alberta, Canada.

“When we decided to call this tour ‘The Baddest Show On Earth’, we had no doubt we could back it up night after night,” says George Thorogood. “We’re playing great venues in some of our favorite markets, and it’s guaranteed we can make you feel like a teenager again. Time to get on the bus, hit the highway and bring the rock party to the people for 2026.”

After more than five decades, more than 8,000 live performances, over 15 million albums sold, and now-classic hits that include “I Drink Alone”, “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer”, “Move It On Over”, “Who Do You Love” and the definitive badass anthem “Bad To The Bone”, Thorogood and his longtime band – Jeff Simon (drums), Bill Blough (bass), Jim Suhler (guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone) – continue to “play rock & roll hot enough to melt the polar icecaps and flood the world’s major population centers” (Rolling Stone). They’ve also remained one of the top live acts in the world, including recent triumphant tours with Sammy Hagar, ZZ Top and John Fogerty. Thorogood closed out 2025 bigger than ever, including his iconic guitar placed on permanent exhibit at The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, a Las Vegas Raiders halftime performance with over 54,000 in attendance, and the premiere of the top-rated PBS special Recorded Live at Analog airing in over 75 markets – as well as streaming on PBS.org and YouTube – and continuing into 2026.
