There are few artists more closely associated with the Royal Albert Hall than Eric Clapton.

‘Slowhand’ first played the Hall in 1964 with The Yardbirds, and has gone on to perform on more than 200 further occasions, including legendary farewell and subsequent reunion gigs with Cream and numerous sold-out residencies as a solo artist.

2021 will see the Royal Albert Hall turn 150 years old, and to celebrate we’re planning a whole series of events and activities to celebrate our past, present and future.
