Eric Clapton‘s sixth iteration of the Crossroads Guitar Festival will hit the Crypto.com arena in Los Angeles Sept. 23-24, marking the festival’s first time in California.
The festival, which gathers guitarists from various musical styles and often hosts impromptu collaborations, has previously been hosted in Dallas, Chicago and New York. This year’s line-up will feature Sheryl Crow, H.E.R., Carlos Santana, ZZ Top and plenty of other talents from different genres of music.
Tickets for the event will go on sale Friday, April 21, at 10 a.m. on Ticketmaster.com. Two-day passes for the festival will not be sold, so if festivalgoers want to catch both days, they must purchase each day’s ticket individually.
The Guitar Center Festival Village on-site will feature the latest in tech and gear from some of the most notable guitar brands, including Fender, Gibson, Martin, BOSS, D’Angelico, Ernie Ball, Focusrite, Ibanez, Mark Bass, Marshall, Mitchell, PRS, Shure, Yamaha and more. The village will also host interactive exhibits where guitarist enthusiasts can plug in and play with new and classic products.
This year’s exhibits will showcase selections from the Legends Collection, which include Clapton’s “Blackie” Strat and Cherry ES-335 and Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Lenny” Strat. Additionally, Guitar Center, in partnership with Eric Clapton, will unveil the 25th Anniversary Crossroads Guitar Collection – a rare series of meticulously crafted, limited-edition guitars based on vintage, iconic instruments that Clapton played early in his career with Cream, Blind Faith and Derek and the Dominos. The Guitar Center Festival Village’s hours are exclusively for festival ticket holders and will operate from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. on both days of the festival.
