Eric Clapton announces May 2024 UK & Ireland tour

Guitar virtuoso Eric Clapton has announced a headline UK & Ireland tour for May 2024.

Slowhand will play arenas in Newcastle, Liverpool, Birmingham and Dublin before culminating with four nights at London’s world-famous Royal Albert Hall.

Tickets to the UK shows go on sale from Absolute Radio Tickets at 10am on Friday 9th June.

Last month, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck's wife Sandra Beck organised the two sold-out Jeff Beck tribute concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, which featured a plethora of guest performers.

Among those who took to the stage alongside Clapton over the two nights were Ronnie Wood, Johnny Depp, Joe Perry, ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons, Rod Stewart and Gary Clark Jr.

Surplus income from the two concerts was donated to the Folly Wildlife Rescue based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
