Music legend Eric Clapton has announced a limited run of exclusive shows for 2024, including a date at Dublin’s 3Arena stadium.

Clapton will be taking to the stage in Dublin for the first time since performing in the O2 Arena in 2013, and the show is expected to sell out quickly.

The English music icon will be playing at the 3Arena on Thursday, May 16, 2024, and is coming to the capital as part of a short UK and Ireland tour.

Clapton will touch down in the capital for one night before flying back to the UK, where he will perform two nights at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London. Clapton is also set to perform in Newcastle, Liverpool, and Birmingham, with a total of six exclusive shows.
