Buddy Guy is marking his 90th birthday in style with an all-star musical celebration.

The legendary blues musician, currently 89, will be honored with "Buddy's Got the Blues: A 90th Birthday Concert Celebration" on October 1 at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

"Can't wait to celebrate 90 years of living, loving, and playing the Blues with all my friends. We'll make it a night not just for me, but for the folks who taught us, the friends we've played with, and the ones coming up behind us," Guy shared in a statement.

The concert will feature an impressive roster of performers spanning multiple genres and generations. Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Susan Tedeschi, and Derek Trucks headline the lineup, alongside Jon Batiste, Aloe Blacc, Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr., Shemekia Copeland, Robert Cray, Samantha Fish, Eric Gales, Billy F Gibbons, Ivan Neville, Robert Randolph, Bobby Rush, Isaiah Sharkey, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Jimmie Vaughan, Ally Venable, Willie Weeks, and Kim Wilson.

Additional artists and special guests are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

The celebration arrives as Guy continues to make cultural waves. He and the Sinners recently performed the original song "I Lied to You" at the Oscars ceremony held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, recreating the musical atmosphere from the film and bringing together artists from different eras, including Alice Smith, Brittany Howard, Shaboozey, and other blues musicians.
