Eric Clapton has announced a short tour of The UK and Ireland. The six-date run will commence on May 9 next year at the Utilita Arena in Newcastle, then make stops in Liverpool, Birmingham and Dublin before wrapping up with a pair of shows at Clapton's traditional London home, the Royal Albert Hall, on May 20 and 21. Tickets will go on sale at 9am on June 9, and will be available from Ticketmaster (for the Dublin show) or via Bookings Direct (all other shows).
Clapton was most recently spotted at the Royal Albert Hall last month, for a pair of shows held to pay tribute to fellow guitar legend Jeff Beck, who died in January. Clapton, who organised the show alongside Beck's widow Sandra, was joined onstage by Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, Billy Gibbons, Johnny Depp, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, Joss Stone, Imelda May, John McLaughlin, Gary Clarke Jr., Doyle Bramhall and Robert Randolph.
