"The Allman Brothers Band, ZZ Top, Steve Winwood, B.B. King, Jeff Beck, Vince Gill, Sheryl Crow, Buddy Guy and John Mayer are among the artists guitar legend Eric Clapton has enlisted to share the stage with him during the 2010 edition of his Croassroads Guitar Festival.

Scheduled to take place June 26, at Bridgeview, IL's Toyota Park, the event will also feature Robert Cray, Keb' Mo', Robert Randolph, Jimmie Vaughn, Doyle Bramhall II and more. A complete list of confirmed performers is included below.

"The Crossroads Festival is the realization of a dream for me, to gather a group of amazingly talented musicians to perform on one stage,” said Clapton. “The Crossroads performers are all musicians I admire and respect."

Tickets for the event--which are priced at at $100, plus parking and applicable fees, according to the Croassroad Guitar Festival's website--go on sale Feb. 20 via Ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster phone charge (800.745.3000), Ticketmaster retail outlets, and the Toyota Park box office.

Proceeds from the Crossroads Guitar Festival 2010 will benefit Clapton's Croassroads Centre, a substance-abuse rehab facility in Antigua that Clapton founded in 1998. More information about the organization is available at the Crossroads Centre's website.
