Eric Clapton has announced a very special tribute show in honor of late Cream/Blind Faith drummer, Ginger Baker, who passed away in early October. The event, billed as Eric Clapton & Friends: A Tribute To Ginger Baker, will take place on Monday, February 17th, 2020 at the Eventim Apollo Hammersmith in London, U.K.
According to the announcement posted on Clapton’s Facebook page, the setlist for the concert “will look to honour Baker’s lifetime in music and will, of course, include Clapton and Baker’s work together in Cream and Blind Faith.”
The relatively intimate event (capacity ~5,000) will be held in aid of Leonard Cheshire, a charity close to the Baker family. The U.K.-based non-profit supports the ability of all individuals to live, learn and work as independently as they choose—whatever their ability—at the heart of local life, opening doors to opportunity, choice, and support in communities around the globe.
Forthcoming announcements will detail the artists set to be included in the performance. Tickets for Eric Clapton & Friends: A Tribute To Ginger Baker at the Eventim Apollo Hammersmith in London will go on sale on November 29th, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. local time here or by phone at 0844-249-1000.
