Expect air guitar solos all weekend.
On Sept. 23-24, Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival will settle down at Los Angeles, CA’s Crypto.com Arena for two days of rock and roll, blues, country and Latin jam sessions.
In order to make this happen, Clapton enlisted some of the best in the biz to join him.
Over the two-day stay, ol’ Slowhand will be joined by the John Mayer Trio, Sheryl Crow, ZZ Top, Stephen Stills and Gary Clark Jr.
Other major acts on the bill include Joe Bonamassa, Jakob Dylan, Buddy Guy, H.E.R. and The War On Drugs.
Plus, Los Lobos and Marcus King.
That’s barely scratching the surface too — in total, 40 huge acts are set to perform at Crossroads.
We’re most excited about the last-minute bargain basement prices on tickets for the mega festival though.
At the time of publication, some single-day passes can be snagged for as low as $65 before fees on Vivid Seats.

Eric Clapton COVID-19 controversy
At the height of the pandemic, in November 2020, Clapton released an anti-masking and lockdown song called “Stand and Deliver” with Van Morrison.
Eight months later, he claimed that he would “not perform on any stage where there is a discriminated audience present” in regards to vaccinations.
In March 2022, Clapton ended up canceling a handful of concerts after receiving a positive COVID-19 diagnosis.
