The Crossroads Guitar Festival hit Madison Square Garden in April this year with tickets selling out in the blink of an eye. It's no wonder either, with some of the best guitarists in music history making up the line-up at the 2013 event including the Allman Brothers Band, Jeff Beck, Keith Richards, Keith Urban, Gary Clark Jr., Vince Gill, John Mayer and, of course, festival organiser Eric Clapton. Clapton has been curating this event since 2004 with talent-filled festival taking place every 3 years in aid of the Crossroads Center Antigua - a private drug rehabilitation centre founded by the artist himself.
This year, the event is put to film as those who couldn't make it to the show will now get to see it in select US cinemas. Tickets are available now and the event will be aired on 500 screens across the country this summer. 'NCM Fathom Events is thrilled to bring audiences the concert event of the summer as Eric Clapton and the world's best guitarists combine for an unforgettable night in cinemas across the country', senior vice president of Business Development of NCM Fathom Dan Diamond said in a statement. It will hit theatres for one night only on August 13th 2013.
