Chicago, 28 July 2007, starting at noon.
The festival will be held at Toyota Park which is located 15 minutes southwest of Downtown Chicago.
All tickets will be priced at $90 plus ticketing/service charges. The ticket price includes parking for the day. That sounds like a bargain to me.
Profits from the festival will benefit The Crossroads Centre in Antigua, a treatment and education facility founded by Clapton for drug and alcohol dependent people.
The first Crossroads Guitar Festival was held in June 2004 at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. The 2-disc DVD that was produced from this festival is now one of the world's top-selling music DVD's, recently achieving the 8x platinum mark in the U.S. alone. I own this DVD and can confirm that it’s excellent.
Artists signed up so far include:
Jeff Beck
Doyle Bramhall II
Eric Clapton
Robert Cray
Sheryl Crow
Vince Gill
Buddy Guy
BB King
Alison Krauss and Union Station
Sonny Landreth
Albert Lee
Los Lobos
John Mayer
John McLaughlin
Willie Nelson
Robert Randolph
Hubert Sumlin
Derek Trucks
Jimmie Vaughan
Steve Winwood
