Eric Clapton UK tour 2024: how to get tickets to London Royal Albert Hall concert - and key dates

Once a member of such seminal bands as the Yardbirds, Blind Faith and Cream, Eric Clapton has carved out an unrivalled career, garnering countless awards and accolades and playing sold-out performances all over the world. Now the guitar legend has announced an exclusive lineup of shows as part of a UK and Ireland tour in 2024.

The announcement comes after he and his wife organised two sold-out extravaganzas at the Royal Albert Hall in London last month, which featured a range of surprise guests. These ranged from Pirates of the Caribbean star and singer Johnny Depp, as well as Ronnie Wood, Joe Perry, ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, Rod Stewart and Gary Clark Jr.

All income of those two shows went straight to a charity close to his heart; Folly Wildlife Rescue, which is based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

Now with interest in seeing the guitarist live and in the flesh at an all-time high, Eric Clapton has announced six dates next year which includes a return to the capital. Here is how you can get tickets to the shows, as well as a summary of everywhere the star will perform.
