But he organized a repeat performance in 2007 and again this summer. More than 25 guitarists will gather for the event, performing both solo and in the kind of collaborations you can only see in the festival setting. (2007 featured a rare appearance by former Band guitarist Robbie Robertson.) Clapton will play his own set and pop in on others when the mood strikes. This year is rumored to be the last\u2014though that\u2019s been said before\u2014so tickets will likely go fast. Proceeds benefit an addiction treatment center in Antigua.<\/p>\n<p>[Summer Festivals \/ May 2010, M Music &amp; Musicians]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CROSSROADS GUITAR FESTIVAL June 26, Bridgeview, Ill.
