Looking for Eric Clapton 2026 tour dates fast? See the full announced schedule below, including the new U.S. leg and previously announced Europe/U.K. dates.

Eric Clapton has expanded his 2026 touring plans, adding a six-city U.S. run to a previously announced slate of European and U.K. dates. For fans, the update turns what looked like a selective international outing into a broader, two-continent tour year.

The newly announced U.S. leg is scheduled for September 2026, with stops in Detroit, Cincinnati, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Kansas City. Jimmie Vaughan is listed as special guest for the U.S. dates, and ticketing information indicates general on-sale begins March 6.

Before the North American shows, Clapton’s 2026 itinerary opens in late April with arena stops across the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Spain, and Germany, followed by an August U.K. performance at Sandringham Estate.

For longtime listeners, the expanded routing is notable not just for its scale, but for where it lands: major market arenas in both Europe and the U.S., plus a high-profile outdoor U.K. date. At this stage of Clapton’s career, each added stop has extra weight for audiences who have watched him shift toward shorter, more selective touring windows in recent years.

Below is a full table of currently announced 2026 dates.
