In addition to performances from world-class guitarists, attendees will be able to check out guitars and gear from the world’s top manufacturers in Guitar Center Festival Village at the adjacent Xbox Plaza and Chick Hearn Court at L.A. Live. Guitar Center will once again exhibit instruments from the company’s multi-million dollar Legends Collection of historically significant guitars, including Clapton’s “Blackie” Strat and cherry ES-335, as well as Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Lenny” Strat.
Additionally, Guitar Center, in partnership with Eric Clapton, will unveil the 25th Anniversary Crossroads Guitar Collection–”a rare series of meticulously crafted, limited-edition guitars, based on vintage, iconic instruments that Clapton played early in his career with Cream, Blind Faith and Derek and the Dominos.” A portion of the proceeds will benefit Clapton’s Crossroads Centre at Antigua, which provides treatment and education to chemically and alcohol dependent persons and their loved ones.
Tickets for Crossroads Guitar Festival go on sale on April 21st. Only single-day tickets will be available. View the full lineup below, and for more information and ticketing details, visit the festival website.
