The new tour dates flesh out a 2026 itinerary that also includes the sold-out second half of his Antone’s residency in Austin and festivals like Newport Jazz, Bourbon & Beyond, and Eric Clapton’s Crossroads, among others.

On June 2, Clark will play New York City’s 250-cap Mercury Lounge before embarking on a series of previously announced appearances. Then on June 4 and 5, Clark will join Bruce Springsteen for a multi-act concert event celebrating America’s 250th birthday called: Music America: The Songs That Shaped Us. The event will take place at the OceanFirst Bank Center on the campus of the new Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music.
The new shows pick up in Dallas on August 27 just ahead of his August 29 performance at the Buddy Guy Blues Festival in The Woodlands, Texas. From there, Clark hits a broad swath of major American cities including New Orleans, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Denver, Seattle, Los Angeles, and many others.
Landing in the middle of that stretch is Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival (September 26–27), which this year will take place in Austin, Clark’s hometown. Clark will premiere new material on the road and plans to release new tracks soon, imbued with heavy blues and soul.
