Carlos Santana has announced he will hit the road with his band across North America this summer for the “1001 Rainbows” tour. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist will lead the band across their fifty-year career, including fan favorites from Woodstock to Supernatural and beyond.
But first, Santana will wrap up the Blessings and Miracles Tour at the legendary New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival on May 4 followed by dates in Dallas and Houston, Tex., before resuming his residency at the House of Blues Las Vegas. The “1001 Rainbows” tour kicks off on June 21. Tickets for the summer run go on sale to the general public starting March 3 here.
From the Feb. 28 announcement: For more than five decades – from Santana’s earliest days as a groundbreaking Afro-Latin-blues-rock fusion outfit in San Francisco – Carlos Santana has been the visionary force behind artistry that transcends musical genres and generational, cultural and geographical boundaries. Santana has won ten GRAMMY Awards and three Latin GRAMMY Awards, with a record-tying nine GRAMMY Awards for a single project for 1999’s Supernatural (including Album of the Year and Record of the Year for “Smooth”). He has received the Billboard Century Award (1996), was ushered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1998), received the Billboard Latin Music Awards’ Lifetime Achievement honor (2009), and was the recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors Award (2013). His most recent album, 2021’s Blessings and Miracles features collaborations with Rob Thomas, Chris Stapleton, Steve Winwood, and many others. Santana continues his residency at the House of Blues Las Vegas where he celebrated his 10th anniversary of performing in the intimate venue in May 2022.
Carlos Santana turns 76 on July 20, 2023.
