01-24-2025

(fcc) Eric Clapton has released the physical version of his studio album Meanwhile from Bushbranch/Surfdog Records on vinyl and CD. The physical release of the album is available here.

The album features collaborations with Jeff Beck, Van Morrison, Bradley Walker, Judith Hill, Daniel Santiago, and Simon Climie, six brand new songs and eight previously released singles.

Next week MTV will be releasing ERIC CLAPTON UNPLUGGED...OVER 30 YEARS LATER from its trailblazing, Grammy and Emmy Award-winning global music franchise MTV UNPLUGGED. The special will premiere in select U.S. and U.K. theaters on Monday, January 27 and Tuesday, January 28, 2025 before it is available to stream on Paramount+ beginning Wednesday, February 12, 2025 in the U.S. and globally.

Considered one of the most iconic installments of the MTV Unplugged series, 18x GRAMMY Award-winner Eric Clapton originally recorded his unforgettable performance of ERIC CLAPTON UNPLUGGED in 1992 at Bray Studios in Windsor, England. In this all-new extended, remixed and remastered edition, ERIC CLAPTON UNPLUGGED...OVER 30 YEARS LATER will feature never-before-seen interviews of Clapton discussing the inspiration behind specific songs with the crew just before he took the stage, seamlessly integrated with the performance footage.

After touring in South America, Mexico and Los Angeles this past fall, this year Clapton will return to Japan for a six-night residency at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo on April 14, 16, 18, 19, 21 and 24th. The concerts, presented by Martin Guitars Japan, will mark his 24th visit to the country since 1974. In addition, after a sold-out tour of the UK in 2024, Clapton will return to his second home: London's Royal Albert Hall in May 2025 for a limited run of 3 shows. Additionally, he will play just one show outside the capital, at Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena, his first show in that city since 2008. Continuing in Europe Clapton will perform two shows in Milan, Italy at Unipol Forum on May 27th & 28th as well as perform two shows in France at Accor Arena in Paris on May 31st and Palais Nikaia de Nice in Nice on June 2nd.
