Clapton's Crossroads, Back In Chicago

The 3rd Crossroads Guitar Festival is returning to Chicago this summer and Eric Clapton isn’t coming alone. Jeff Beck, The Allman Brothers Band, ZZ Top, Steve Winwood, John Mayer, and Sheryl Crow, will all be playing at the festival to help raise money for Clapton’s addiction treatment and education facility, the Crossroads Centre. Other artists that will be at the day long festival include, Robert Randolph, Keb’Mo’, Albert Lee, and Jimmie Vaughan.

What a lineup. Billboard.com is reporting that it is unconfirmed at the moment as to who will be playing with Clapton at the festival. Though with Jeff Beck, John Mayer, and Steve Winwood backstage, can he really go wrong once he finally decides?

The festival will take place on June 26th at Toyota Park in Chicago. Tickets are $100 and go on-sale Saturday, February 20th, at 10am.
