Eric Clapton last performed in several cities in Germany in 2022. Next year it will be that time again, Slowhand will play a total of three concerts in the spring – in Mannheim, Cologne and Munich.
As it says in a statement, in addition to its classics, you can also look forward to selected rarities and new arrangements. As is well known, Clapton has a lot of hits to offer, including the much-played live “Tears in Heaven”, “Layla”, “Wonderful Tonight”, “Cocaine” and “Change the World”.
Despite some questionable public comments (e.g. during the Corona period), the Brit is of course still considered a virtuoso on the guitar, which he already showed with the Yardbirds and Cream and shaped every single song of his long career.
He is now bringing his legacy of blues, rock and ballads to the stage again. In recent years, the 80-year-old has noticeably reduced his live performances, also for health reasons. For that reason alone, the gigs in May 2026 are an event. If you can’t make it to the German locations, you also have the chance to be there on April 26, 2026 at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp, Belgium.
