Santana keep their touring momentum going in 2026. According to the official tour page on santana.com, the Oneness Tour with The Doobie Brothers runs across North America through August and is followed by newly added fall dates at the House of Blues in Las Vegas.

Oneness Tour 2026 rolls on in North America

The Oneness Tour brings Santana and The Doobie Brothers together for a co-headlining run that starts in mid-June and continues until August 27, 2026, when the summer leg wraps in Shakopee, Minnesota. An announcement on Santana’s site and a detailed report by Ultimate Classic Rock outline more than 25 shows in major U.S. markets and Toronto.

The official tour schedule lists upcoming August arena and amphitheater stops including El Paso’s UTEP Don Haskins Center on August 16, Austin’s Moody Center on August 18, The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands on August 21 and Dallas’ American Airlines Center on August 22. Further dates include Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison on August 24, a show at Morton Amphitheater in Kansas City on August 26 and Mystic Lake Amphitheater in Shakopee on August 27.

Ticket platforms such as SeatGeek mirror those dates and show current price ranges, underlining that the Oneness Tour is very much a live proposition in August 2026 and not a legacy rerun. The co-headlining format also means fans see two Rock and Roll Hall of Fame acts on the same bill, a notable value compared with typical single-headliner tours.

Beyond August, Santana’s own site lists “An Intimate Evening with Santana: Greatest Hits Live” shows at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on September 16, 17, 19, 20 and 23, with additional late-September dates also part of the residency-style run. These club-sized performances contrast with the big outdoor venues of the summer leg and give Carlos Santana room for extended improvisation.

New House of Blues dates add a fall residency

The most recent development is that Santana have added eight more House of Blues shows in November 2026 to their Las Vegas residency. Ultimate Classic Rock reports new dates on November 4–5, 7–8, 11–12 and 14–15 at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay, expanding the residency beyond the September run.

On santana.com, the news section and tour overview reflect the ongoing residency, with the homepage highlighting November 2026 dates as “just added,” indicating that these shows were confirmed shortly before August 20, 2026. This extension means Santana will play Las Vegas across three separate blocks in September and November, a pattern that underlines how central the city has become to their live strategy.

SeatGeek’s listings for House of Blues Las Vegas already include prices for the mid-September shows and early November concerts, showing that tickets are on sale and demand remains strong, with entry prices often well above 100 U.S. dollars. For fans, the added November dates provide a second chance to catch the residency if they miss the late-summer shows.

While the Oneness Tour itself is North American, German-based followers gain indirect benefit because Las Vegas and several U.S. cities are key travel destinations. The extension adds flexibility for long-haul fans who plan trips around Santana’s shows, particularly as Europe-focused arena concerts, including a Cologne date, are scheduled separately for fall 2026 according to previous tour communications and promoter listings.

The musical core of Santana in 2026

Even as Santana focus heavily on touring, their recorded catalog continues to drive their status in streaming. Data compiled by kworb from Spotify shows that compilation albums such as Ultimate Santana and The Essential Santana have surpassed 2.7 billion and 2.3 billion streams respectively as of August 6, 2026, underscoring how strongly their hits circulate online.

Classic studio albums remain relevant too. Supernatural, originally released in 1999 and including collaborations like Smooth with Rob Thomas and Maria Maria featuring The Product G&B, sits at around 1.67 billion streams in its remastered edition alone. A German-market perspective shows that Supernatural reached double platinum status from the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI) in earlier years, indicating over one million certified units sold, a benchmark that continues to anchor Santana’s reputation in Germany.

On the song level, kworb’s August 18, 2026 overview points to more than 4 billion total streams across Santana’s tracks, with individual staples such as Maria Maria and Smooth each counting well over 500 million plays. These figures place Santana among a small group of classic rock acts whose catalog performs at a scale comparable to current chart stars.

Instrumentally, the current live arrangements lean into the band’s fusion of Latin rock, blues and jazz, often stretching familiar material into extended jams on stage. Carlos Santana’s sustained focus on tone and phrasing means pieces like Black Magic Woman, Oye Como Va and Europa can evolve subtly from tour to tour, providing repeat audiences with variation while keeping the core melodies intact.

Where Santana stand and what’s next

Santana’s next confirmed live date after August 20, 2026 is August 21, 2026 at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, Texas, as listed on the official tour page and major ticketing platforms. Further shows follow across the United States, with the band remaining continuously active on the road through at least mid-November 2026.
