Eric Clapton headlines the seventh edition of the Crossroads Guitar Festival at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas.
Eric Clapton is bringing the Crossroads Guitar Festival to the Moody Center on September 26 and 27, 2026. It's a two-day event, and this one is the seventh edition of the festival. If you've followed it before, you know the format: Clapton gathers a wide range of guitarists for a few days of playing, and this time the whole thing is happening right here in Austin.
There's a specific reason for the timing. The 2026 festival celebrates the 28th anniversary of the Crossroads Centre Antigua, which was founded in 1998. The festival is presented in aid of that center, so the money raised goes back to the work they do. It's a recurring thing for Clapton — he's been running this festival since the late nineties, and this marks the seventh time it's come around.

Because it's a festival and not a single show, it runs across two dates, September 26 and 27, both at the Moody Center. You'll find the full details and tickets through the official Crossroads Guitar Festival site and Live Nation.
