Eric Clapton 2013 Crossroads Guitar Festival Announced

The Fourth Gathering

ERIC CLAPTON has announced a major U.S. tour culminating in his fourth CROSSROADS GUITAR FESTIVAL PRESENTED.  The Festival will take place APRIL 12th-13th for the first time at NEW YORK’s famed MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.

"The CROSSROADS FESTIVAL is the realization of a dream for me, to gather a group of amazingly talented musicians to perform on one stage," said CLAPTON.  "The performers are all musicians I admire and respect."

In addition to the concerts, the "GUITAR CENTER Road to Crossroads Exhibition" will be featured on the TERRACE LEVEL @ MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.   This exhibition will feature the "Legends Guitar Walk" with some of the most valuable guitars in the history of Rock and Blues.

All profits from the festival will benefit THE CROSSROADS CENTER in ANTIGUA, a treatment and education facility founded by CLAPTON for chemically dependent persons.  The festival is presented by CHASE.
