FIREKEEPERS CASINO HOTEL KICKS OFF 2026 WITH MUST-SEE SHOWS
BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (Nov 10, 2025) — FireKeepers Casino Hotel is heating up 2026 with two incredible headline events featuring rock legends George Thorogood & The Destroyers and comedy icon Lewis Black. Tickets for both shows go on sale Saturday, November 15, at 10 a.m. and can be purchased online at FireKeepersCasino.com or in person at the FireKeepers Casino Box Office, located in the hotel lobby.
Comedian Lewis Black will take the stage on Friday, February 27, 2026, at 8 p.m., with doors opening at 7 p.m. Tickets start at $29 + fees. The two-time Grammy Award winner is celebrated as one of comedy’s sharpest voices. Known for his biting wit, signature delivery, and hilariously honest take on life’s absurdities, Black has built a career spanning television, film, Broadway, and countless sold-out tours around the world. Having recently wrapped his final world tour, Goodbye Yeller Brick Road, The Final Tour, this performance marks an exclusive opportunity for audiences to experience Lewis Black live following the conclusion of his legendary touring career.
Then, George Thorogood & The Destroyers will bring The Baddest Show on Earth to the Event Center on Friday, March 27, 2026, at 8 p.m., with doors opening at 7 p.m. Tickets start at $29 + fees. With more than 8,000 live performances and over 15 million albums sold, Thorogood and his band have spent five decades defining the sound of American rock & roll with hits like “Bad to the Bone,” “Who Do You Love,” and “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.” Known for their fiery stage presence and blues-driven sound, George Thorogood & The Destroyers continue to prove why they remain one of the most enduring live acts in music history.
“These shows represent two very different but equally powerful forces in live entertainment,” said Jim Wise, Vice President of Marketing at FireKeepers Casino Hotel. “George Thorogood & The Destroyers bring rock & roll intensity, Lewis Black delivers laughter that hits straight to the heart. Both events make 2026 a year to remember for fans at FireKeepers—and their tickets make the perfect gift for any music or comedy lover.”
