Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival 2010 takes place in Toyota Park on June 26th. It's a single day event featuring top guitar talents spanning many genres and generations, and will also include special activities hosted by event sponsors.

Though the roster of performers is currently available, a schedule of exactly when they will take the stage is not. Given the freestyle form of the show, which features many collaborations and jams, it's unlikely that a fixed schedule will become available before the day of the event.

It's wise to consider arriving early so you can look around, and perhaps gain insight on special activities that will be available before and during the show. Guitar Center Village, a promotional area that will features master classes presents by top guitarists along with special exhibits throughout the day, is a good place to check in when you first arrive (especially if you hope to attend one of the featured workshops). Little advance information about scheduling of the master classes is currently posted at either the Guitar Center or Crossroads Festival official sites, so you might want to contact Guitar Center by phone or via guitarcenter.com for more information. You might also want to follow Guitar Center on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook to stay current with emerging details. http://twitter.com/guitarcenter http://www.facebook.com/GuitarCenter

The festival begins at noon, and the parking lot will be open at 7am for those who wish to arrive early. Toyota Park stadium and Guitar Center Village will open at 10:00am. The quickest access to Guitar Center Village is by using Gates B and C to enter the Toyota Park stadium. http://www.toyotapark.com/events/details.asp?ID=264

Before heading out to Toyota Park, it's a good idea to vist the stadium's Crossroads Guitar Festival FAQ for full detail on allowed and prohibited items. Be especially aware that no professional quality cameras or audio recording equipment will be allowed in the stadium during the event, and you will be subject to a security search upon entrance to the venue. http://www.toyotapark.com/events/details.asp?ID=264
