Eric Clapton will once again tour the UK and Ireland next year.

The legendary guitarist and musician took to social media earlier this week (June 6) to announce the tour, which will see him perform six shows across the UK and Ireland in May 2024.

Over the course of his tour, Clapton will perform at the Utilita Arena in Newcastle, Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena, Birmingham’s Resorts World Arena, the 3Arena in Dublin, and three shows at the Royal Albert Hall in London. While only two Royal Albert shows have been listed on social media, a third date has been confirmed via Clapton’s official website.

In a follow-up tweet, Clapton confirmed that tickets to the 2023 UK and Ireland tour go on sale today (June 9) at 10am local time. Tickets to the Newcastle, Dublin and London dates can be purchased on Ticketmaster, while passes the other shows will be available on See Tickets.

Eric Clapton most recently performed at the Royal Albert Hall in May, albeit for two back-to-back tribute concerts to the late Jeff Beck. Metallica‘s Kirk Hammett, Rod Stewart, Johnny Depp and Aerosmith‘s Joe Perry were among the other musicians who came performed at the tribute concerts.

In 2022, Eric Clapton played two nights at the Royal Albert Hall as part of his UK and European headline tour. He was later forced to postpone two of the dates on the stint after contracting COVID-19.
