One of America's most celebrated riff merchants is making a long overdue return to Ireland.

One of the greatest bar bands to grace Planet Rock, George Thorogood & The Destroyers, have announced a May 31 show in the Dublin Olympia, which will cost you €39 to be at.
Coming out of a Delaware in the ‘70s with Bo Diddley riffs and a punk attitude, the chaps recently released a 25th anniversary edition of their classic Bad To The Bone album.
