Santana, led by legendary guitarist Carlos Santana (born July 20, 1947), is one of the most influential acts in rock history. Emerging from San Francisco in the late 1960s, Santana pioneered a fusion of rock, blues, jazz, and Afro‑Latin rhythms, breaking through globally with a landmark performance at Woodstock 1969 and classic albums like Santana, Abraxas, and Santana III. Carlos Santana has won 10 Grammy Awards (including nine in one night for Supernatural), earned three Latin Grammys, and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. He’s widely regarded as one of the greatest guitarists of all time for his instantly recognizable tone and melodic style.
In 2026, Santana is on the Oneness Tour, a major North American run celebrating more than five decades of music. The tour includes spring solo dates (March–April), an extended Las Vegas residency at the House of Blues, and a large summer co‑headlining tour with The Doobie Brothers from June through August. Shows span major U.S. and Canadian cities, blending Santana’s classic hits “Black Magic Woman,”“Oye Como Va,” “Smooth” with deep cuts and spiritually driven jam moments. The tour concludes in late August 2026 and features premium VIP packages for fans.
