Eric Clapton, one of the world's most extraordinary guitarists and songwriters, is finally making his way back to the UK. And this year, he'll be playing just two cities.

While he will be hitting London's Royal Albert Hall for three nights, he will also be arriving in Nottingham. On May 18, 2025, Eric Clapton will be playing Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena.

There, he'll thrill more than 10,000 fans with his incredible music from across the decades. This setlist will no doubt include the likes of Wonderful Tonight, Layla, Change the World, Tears In Heaven, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, and plenty more.

Eric Clapton fans can still get involved in the upcoming tour by looking through a number of online resale retailers. Here's the information you need:

viagogo and resale tickets

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."
