Eric Clapton has announced a run of Midwest US tour dates for later this year. The guitarist will kick off a run of six shows at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, MI, on September 6, and play in Cincinnati, OH, Chicago, IL, Milwaukee, WI and St. Paul, MN, before wrapping at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, MO, on September 17.
Jimmie Vaughan will be the special guest at all shows, while Clapton's band will feature guitarist Doyle Bramhall II, drummer Sonny Emory, keyboardists Chris Stainton and Tim Carmon, bassist Nathan East, and backing vocalists Katie Kissoon and Sharon White.
An artist pre-sale will begin tomorrow (March 3) at 10 am local time, followed by Live Nation pre-sales on March 5. The general sale will begin on Friday, March 6 at 10am local via Ticketmaster.
The new run of dates are in addition to Clapton's previously announced European schedule, which includes an outdoor show on the Royal Sandringham Estate in the UK on August 23.
"Eric Clapton is one of the greatest musicians of all time," says Giles Cooper of HeritageLive Festivals. "It’s a dream come true for all of us at HeritageLive Festivals to have him play at The Sandringham Estate for us next August. It’s going to be such a special and unique event - one of those gigs where you say in years to come, ‘I was there!’. We just can’t wait!"
