Eric Clapton must have had a fantastic time in Australia in 2007. He hadn’t been here in 20 years, but now he’s set to return in 2009.
But the guitar legend is here for a good time, not a long time, only announcing dates in New South Wales and Victoria.
Sydney and Melbourne always get a run, but more surprising is the announcement of a concert at the Hunter Valley’s Hope Estate. Clapton will be the first artist to play at their new amphitheatre, and I can’t think of a better way to christen it!
Tickets Eric Clapton’s Down Under shows go on sale on October 24.
7 March 2009 – Hope Estate, Hunter Valley
8 March 2009 – Entertainment Centre, Sydney
10 March 2009 – Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne
