The Baddest Show On Earth

Watch rock legends, George Thorogood & The Destroyers light up the stage live at Foxwoods Resort Casino!

In a five-decade career fueled by 8,000+ live shows, more than 15 million albums sold, and a global reputation as “the band that plays hot enough to melt the polar icecaps” (Rolling Stone) and “one of the 5 best acts left out of The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame” (WNBF Binghamton), where can “one of the most iconic bands in rock history” (Rapid City Journal) possibly go from here?

“That’s all pretty good for the first 50 years,” George Thorogood says 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.

George 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” (Classic Rock History) as its relentless ringmaster. “If the circus makes everyone feel like a kid again, this tour will make you feel like a teenager,” George says 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 & roll is all about.”

STAIND is comprised of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Aaron Lewis, lead guitarist Mike Mushok, bassist and backing vocalist Johnny April, and drummer Sal Giancarelli. The band was formed in 1995 in their hometown of Springfield, Massachusetts. Over the course of their career, the band has released seven studio albums and eight Top 10 singles, selling over 15 million albums worldwide. 

Break The Cycle, released in 2001, an RIAA certified 5x platinum, featured the anthemic single, “It’s Been Awhile,” one of the most played songs in modern rock radio history, spending 20 weeks at Number 1.

In 2019 after a five year hiatus, STAIND reunited for some unforgettable festival performances, and a hometown reunion show that was recorded for the album Live: It’s Been Awhile. In September 2023, STAIND released their eighth studio album and first in twelve years, Confessions Of The Fallen, which reached #1 on Billboard’s Active Rock Album chart. The debut single from the album, “Lowest In Me”, and the second single, “Here and Now”, both reached

#1 on the Active Rock Chart. One year later in September 2024, STAIND digitally released Confessions Of The Fallen (Deluxe) that contained three additional songs including “Better Days feat. DOROTHY”, a radio version of the album track, and “Full of Emptiness”. Staind is returning to the studio in 2025 to work on their eighth studio album.
