Last year, Clapton hosted and curated the seventh installment of his Crossroads Guitar Festival on 23 and 24 September at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, CA. It marked the event’s return after a four-year break, selling out on both days.
Once again, Clapton carefully assembled a powerhouse cohort of influential guitarists representing various eras and styles. The impressive line-up boasted Stephen Stills, Joe Bonamassa, Clapton, Gary Clark Jr, Sheryl Crow, Eric Gales, H.E.R., Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram, Los Lobos, John Mayer, The Marcus King Band, Roger McGuinn, John McLaughlin, Santana, The Wallflowers, and many more. Not to forget, Bill Murray served as the evening’s ‘master of ceremonies’.
The initial Pay-Per-View broadcast beamed out the performance to fans everywhere. Now, they can revisit the show on the 2DVD or 2Blu-Ray set. The Festival incited widespread critical applause. Forbes raved, “my God, it was breathtaking,” and Guitar.com summed it up best, “the lineup for this year’s Crossroads Festival could be described as—well, let’s just call it absolutely insane.” Guitar World hailed it as “a six-string celebration.”
