Eric Clapton

2026 Live

Olympic Hall

He is a legend, a godfather of blues rock, one of the most influential guitarists in music history – and not just because of his global hits ‘Tears in Heaven’, “Layla” and ‘Cocaine’. He has influenced entire generations of artists and, even at the age of 80, his music continues to shape styles. Now Eric Clapton is going on tour again – and will once more be playing at the Olympic Hall on 17 May 2026.

His unique career began in the early 1960s when, after dropping out of university, he joined numerous bands, including John Mayall and his Bluesbreakers, Blind Faith and Cream. Eric Clapton released his solo debut album in 1970 and came to the Olympiahalle for the first time in 1974 as part of his ‘461 Ocean Boulevard’ tour. The Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote at the time: ‘Clapton's shy nervousness gave way to a calm, reserved modesty, and he let his guitars sing the simple but beautiful melodies that had already shaped his style with Cream...’. 

In the 1990s, he made a real comeback with the magnificent live opus ‘Unplugged’, which became his most successful album with 26 million sales. Tirelessly, he released his 21st studio album, ‘Meanwhile’, in October 2024. With 18 Grammys and three inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the grand master of blues rock is going on tour again in 2026. In addition to old classics and new songs, fans can look forward to selected rarities. And more than half a century after his first appearance at the Olympic Hall, he will once again let his guitars sing beautiful melodies.
