There’s no need for Eric Clapton to “Find His Way Home” at the moment.
The former Blind Faith guitarist has six solo shows with special guest Jimmie Vaughan, two festival dates and a single, special, star-studded celebratory concert lined up at venues all over North America this next month.
His brief run comes to a close with a stop at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall on Thursday, Oct. 1. At that show, Clapton and big names like John Mayer, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top and Joe Bonamassa will ring in Buddy Guy’s 90th birthday along with other blues luminaries and more.
If you’d like to see the tireless Rock Hall of Famer on his annual late summer/early fall jaunt, last-minute tickets are still available for all eight gigs on Clapton’s calendar.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for any one performance was $65 including fees on SeatGeek.
Prices start at $1,425 including fees for the Radio City extravaganza.

After digging through the archives, our team found that ol’ Slowhand performed 16 songs per show on his 2025 outing.
Set List FM reports that that includes Cream’s “Sunshine Of You Love,” “Badge” and “White Room” along with Derek and the Dominos’ “Layla” and, of course, Blind Faith’s “Can’t Find My Way Home.”
As noted above, Clapton is also scheduled to headline a festival. That’s his irregular Crossroads Guitar Festival at Austin, TX from Sept. 26-27. Big names on this year’s bill include Phish’s Trey Anastasio, The Who’s axeman Pete Townshend and many more.
In total, 26 artists will perform over the autumnal weekend.

Eric Clapton new music
On Oct. 4, 2024, Clapton released his 22nd studio album “Meanwhile.”
The record, his first non-holiday effort since 2016, is a laid-back, bluesy affair featuring high-profile collaborators like Van Morrison, Bradley Walker and the late Jeff Beck.
For those who have yet to hear the offering, we suggest starting with the stunning, high-flying cover of “Moon River” (with Beck), jaunty stomper “One Woman” and fiery “Stand and Deliver” (with Van Morrison).
If you’d like to give the album a spin, you can find the sturdy “Meanwhile” here.
More recently, Slowhand dropped a deluxe version of 1989’s “Meanwhile” with four bonus tracks. Wanna revisit? Click here to give them a listen.
