See Eric Clapton Thursday At Acrisure Arena

PALM DESERT, CA — Eric Clapton will perform at Acrisure Arena on Thursday, supported by guest performer Jimmie Vaughan. Tickets remain available for this event, according to Ticketmaster.

His tour continues Saturday at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and at the Kia Forum in the "Life is a Carnival" celebration with Eric Church and other artists on Oct. 17 in Inglewood.

With 18 Grammy awards across multiple groups and an illustrious solo career, Clapton was named the second-greatest guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone in 2011.

Clapton began performing in 1963 with the English R&B band The Yardbirds. Since then, he's contributed 23 songs that charted on the Billboard Top 100 as a solo artist and several more as part of larger groups.

The London-born guitarist gained notoriety over the decades with hits such as "Tears in Heaven," "Cocaine," "Wonderful Thursday evening," and "Layla."

His 1992 recording "Unplugged" reached RIAA-certified Diamond status and remains the highest-selling live album ever.

Vaughan is a music legend in his own right, a veteran guitarist and singer, and a founding member of "The Fabulous Thunderbirds." He's the older brother of the late blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Vaughan is joining Clapton for the second of three Southern California legs of his tour, between concerts in San Diego's Pechanga Arena on Tuesday and the Hollywood Bowl on Saturday.

After the latter performance, he's included in an all-star lineup at next Thursday's "Life Is a Carnival," a tribute show to Indigenous Canadian musician Robbie Robertson at the Kia Forum. Robertson, a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer who died in 2023, was once Bob Dylan's guitarist and composed music for four Martin Scorsese films.

Eric Clapton concert tickets and "Life Is A Carnival" tickets remain available on Ticketmaster and on Stubhub.com.
