Eric Clapton, the globally renowned guitarist and songwriter, is set to return to the UK. He won’t be hitting everywhere, though; this year, he’ll be performing in just two cities.
First up, he’s going to play Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena on May 18, 2025. After that, he’s scheduled for a three-night stint at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
There, he’s expected to entertain over 15,000 fans over the three nights with his timeless music which spans several decades. His setlist will likely feature his iconic hits including Wonderful Tonight, Layla, Change the World, Tears In Heaven, Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door, and many more.

Tickets for the star’s upcoming UK tour went on sale back in December 2024 – many of them sold out within minutes. However, there’s still a chance for Eric Clapton fans to secure their spot at the upcoming tour by checking various online resale retailers.
Here’s what you need to know:
Sites such as Viagogo and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that many event promoters say tickets should not be resold after initial purchase and will not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans attending live events with tickets acquired through resale websites are advised to double check the ticket terms and conditions at the point of sale – such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation – to ensure a smooth live event experience. Tickets could be voided if they were found to be bought second-hand. As a result, fans are buying at their own risk.
With that said, Viagogo also commented: “Viagogo is a regulated marketplace where fans have the guarantee.”
How to buy Eric Clapton tickets now
Eric Clapton tickets are currently available through several resale websites, including viagogo, Vivid Seats and StubHub. These platforms offer fans the opportunity to purchase second-hand tickets up until the event date.
These websites also provide the chance to snag tickets at discounted prices right up to the day of the event. What’s more, seat choices are far more varied.
