The legendary singer and guitarist Eric Clapton (78) will continue on the road in 2024 but until now only a few shows were announced. So far, he won’t be playing in the United States or Canada in 2024 since he already did a North American tour in 2023 and even conducted a new edition of his famous Crossroads Guitar Festival which happened in Los Angeles. There still no information if that festival will happen again in the United States in 2024.
In 2024, the musician has scheduled concerts only in England (With a small residency at the Royal Albert Hall), Ireland and France. His only scheduled shows outside Europe are in Brazil, where he will be playing in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Curitiba.
For a few years already Clapton has been performing live only a few times during the year not doing long tours anymore.

Possible setlist
Eric Clapton usually changes the setlist from time to time because besides songs recorded by him he also likes to add many Blues covers in his shows. It might not be similar to the one he was playing in 2023 in the United States but might feature many famous songs like “I Shot The Sheriff”, “Layla” and “Tears In Heaven”.
See as an example his setlist from Denver, Colorado back in September 16. He also performed some songs from The Band to pay tribute to the guitarist Robbie Robertson.
