Eric Clapton, widely regarded as one of the century’s most pronounced and arduous guitarists, will revive his Crossroads Guitar Festival on Saturday, September 26, and Sunday, September 27, when the live format reignites at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas. As is tradition, the multi-act occasion will boast a roster of top talents, ranging from event veterans to first-time participants who have signed on for the 28th anniversary of Crossroads Centre Antigua (established in 1998).
The imminent two-day event features players from a broad range of genres, including returning guests such as Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr., Billy Gibbons, Buddy Guy, Sonny Landreth, John Mayer, Del McCoury Band, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and Jimmie Vaughan. Meanwhile, the artist lineup also accounts for first-time event practitioners Trey Anastasio, Tommy Emmanuel, Julian Lage and Pete Townshend. A complete lineup is available at the bottom of this page.
“We are thrilled to welcome the legendary Eric Clapton and his Crossroads Guitar Festival to Moody Center. Out of the more than 380 concerts we’ve hosted since opening in 2022, this is poised to be one of the most iconic events ever to take place in our arena. It represents the very best of live music—bringing together world-class artists, passionate fans, and an unforgettable atmosphere right here in the Live Music Capital of the World,” said Michael Owens, SVP of Entertainment for Moody Center.
Crossroads Centre Antigua is dedicated to addiction recovery. Founded by Clapton as a 12-step treatment facility for alcohol and drug dependency, it aims to provide others the same support the musician received during his own therapeutic journey. Donate and learn more here.
