The new live album and concert film, Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival 2023, will be released November 29 on 4CD/2Blu-Ray, 6LP Vinyl, 2DVD, and Digital (streaming & Dolby ATMOS mix). Pre-order/Pre-save HERE.
Last year, Clapton hosted and curated the seventh installment of his Crossroads Guitar Festival on September 23-24 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, CA. It marked the event’s return after a four-year break, selling out the arena on both days. Clapton's guests included Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr., Sheryl Crow, Eric Gales, H.E.R., Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, Los Lobos, John Mayer, The Marcus King Band, Roger McGuinn, John McLaughlin, Santana, The Wallflowers, and more. Bill Murray served as the evening’s “Master of Ceremonies.”
Watch and stream Gary Clark Jr.’s performance of “Habits” HERE.
The initial Pay-Per-View broadcast beamed out the performance. Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival's first iteration was in New York in 1999 and carried through Dallas, TX in 2004, Bridgewater, IL in 2007 and 2010, New York in 2013, and Dallas, TX in 2019. All profits benefited The Crossroads Centre Antigua, a treatment and education facility for chemically dependent persons founded by Clapton.
