Eric Clapton concert

On 10 May 2026, Eric Clapton will return to Barcelona after more than twenty years without setting foot on a stage in the city. The Palau Sant Jordi will host one of only two dates in Spain on a tour that marks a new chapter in the career of one of the most influential figures in popular music of the 20th century.

About this event

Far from limiting himself to revisiting his past, Clapton arrives with recent activity: in 2024 he released Meanwhile, an album of new songs that confirms he is still creating in the present. At 80 years old, he maintains a career that has spanned decades, styles and line-ups, from his time with The Yardbirds, Cream and Derek and the Dominos to an extensive solo career that established him as an absolute reference point for modern blues.

His name is linked to some of the most recognisable compositions in recent history, pieces that form part of the collective imagination and have accompanied entire generations. Songs such as Layla, Tears in Heaven and Wonderful Tonight continue to sound like intimate stories turned into anthems.

With eighteen Grammy awards and the distinction of having been inducted three times into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the concert in Barcelona is presented as an exceptional opportunity to reconnect with an artist who not only marked an era, but helped define the language of the guitar in contemporary music.
