Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton have announced a joint live show at London's O2 arena on February 13, 2010.

Both guitarists were members of influential psychedelic rock band The Yardbirds, with Beck replacing Clapton in the lineup in 1965.

Of their upcoming concert, Beck said: "Eric and I played together in Japan earlier this year and had a blast.

"Since then we have been in regular contact and talked about doing a similar show for our fans."

Clapton added: "I've always considered Jeff Beck to be one of the finest guitar players around. He's a friend, a great guy, and a truly gifted musician.

"We had such a fun time in Japan that it seemed natural to play together again."

Tickets go on sale on September 28 at 9am.
