All Tickets Cheap

The Allman Brothers Band, ZZ Top, Jeff Beck, Steve Winwood, John Mayer, B.B. King and Sheryl Crow will join Eric Clapton at his third Crossroads Guitar Festival, which will take place June 26 at Toyota Park in Chicago — where Clapton also held the 2007 event.

The day-long festival will feature 26 axe-wielding acts in total, also including Robert Cray, Earl Klugh, Robert Randolph, Joe Bonamassa, Sonny Landreth, Keb’ Mo’, Albert Lee, Bert Jansch, David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas of Los Lobos, Clapton Band member Doyle Bramhall II, Gary Clark Jr., Hubert Sumlin, James Burton, Jimmie Vaughan, Joao Gilberto and Pino Daniele. Proceeds will once again benefit the Crossroads Centre in Antigua, an addiction treatment and education facility founded by Clapton.

It’s not yet known who Clapton will play with that day. The 2007 festival was the catalyst for subsequent dates with his Blind Faith bandmate Winwood, while Clapton and Beck will be playing several shows together this year. Beck, Winwood, Mayer, Gill, Crow, Guy, Landreth, Bramhall, Trucks, Randolph, Cray, Sumlin, King, Mayer, Lee and Los Lobos are all returnees from the 2007 show.

Updates will appear at the festival web site, www.crossroadsguitarfestival.com.
