Rock 'n' roll aficionados, mark your calendars because George Thorogood & The Destroyers are set to ignite San Antonio with their sizzling guitar riffs and whiskey-soaked anthems. The band has officially announced their single-show appearance at the H-E-B Performance Hall at The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts on June 28 at 7:30 p.m., as part of their 50th-anniversary tour, according to KENS 5.
The 'Bad All Over The World Tour: 50 Years Of Rock' will not only celebrate the band's five decades of rockin' the masses but will serve to remind people why Thorogood's music has remained an unapologetic staple in rock history. Tickets for this monumental event will go on sale Friday, March 22 at 10 a.m., with a sneak peek for members during a pre-sale already underway. Thrill-seeking fans can snag their tickets via the Tobin Center’s website, over the phone, or by physically hauling themselves to the box office, FOX San Antonio reports.
"We’ve never gone out of style,” Thorogood boasted in what can only be described as an understatement to KENS 5. “Our heart and soul have been in this from day one, and the fans recognize that. That’s why we’re celebrating our first half-century by throwing the biggest and baddest rock party ever." With over 15 million albums sold and an impressive 8,000 live performances, George Thorogood & The Destroyers have embedded themselves into the bedrock of rock 'n' roll history.
Special guest The Robert Cray Band will also be joining Thorogood on stage, ensuring that the evening's festivities are primed to roar to life, and likely, to quickly rocket to the top of summer must-see event lists in San Antonio. Reflecting on his electrifying stage presence, Thorogood admitted to FOX San Antonio, “My highlight is when I step on that bandstand,” adding, “When the rush of that ends, I’ll stop. Until then, every night I play for people can be the biggest night of my life.”
The Destroyers' origin story is one for the books, with Thorogood recalling his first ever gig and the subsequent necessity to hastily acquire an electric guitar. “I’d been traveling around the country as an acoustic street musician,” George explains. “I was back home for my sister’s wedding and Jeff booked the gig without telling me, so I went to a pawn shop downtown and bought a Gibson ES-125.” This marked the beginning of their bone-rattling journey into rock history. For those looking to be part of the continuation of a rock legacy that's been half a century in the making, the upcoming San Antonio show promises to deliver an undiluted dose of classic rock nostalgia and timeless energy. Don't miss out.
