Eric Clapton has announced a U.S. tour set for this fall, beginning Sept. 8 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. The legendary guitarist will then perform in Cleveland, Philadelphia, Boston, and New York, concluding with a final show on Sept. 20 in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Clapton will be joined on stage by guitarist Doyle Bramhall II, bassist and vocalist Nathan East, drummer Sonny Emory, Hammond player Tim Carmon, keyboardist Chris Stainton, and backing vocalists Sharon White and Katie Kissoon.
The U.S. tour follows Clapton’s spring tour in the United Kingdom, which includes three performances at London’s Royal Albert Hall on May 21, 23, and 24, as well as a show at Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena on May 18.
Last October, Clapton released his 22nd solo studio album, “Meanwhile,” featuring contributions from Jeff Beck and Van Morrison, among others.
Tickets for the U.S. tour will be available for purchase starting March 7 at 10 a.m. local time, with pre-sales beginning on March 6.
