The tour ignites Santana’s high-energy, passion-driven hits spanning more than five decades—from the epic breakthrough of Abraxas to Woodstock to the global phenomenon of Supernatural and beyond. Each song is delivered with the same fire and spiritual intensity that have made Santana’s sound one of the most instantly recognizable and celebrated in history. For over fifty years, since emerging from San Francisco as a pioneering Afro-Latin-blues-rock force, Carlos Santana has created music that transcends genres and generations. His guitar, message, and music speak a universal language of rhythm and soul, uniting audiences worldwide.

The legendary hitmakers (Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons, John McFee, and Michael McDonald) will perform all the hits fans know and love as well as new music from their highly acclaimed new album, Walk This Road. Walk This Road, their 16th album, is the first-ever Doobie Brothers studio album to feature Johnston, Simmons, McFee, and McDonald with songwriting by all three Songwriters Hall of Fame inductees.

Santana and The Doobie Brothers share a history of touring together — most notably in 2019, when The Doobie Brothers supported Santana on the Supernatural Now tour, celebrating major milestones in Santana’s career, including the 20th anniversary of Supernatural and the 50th anniversary of his iconic performance at Woodstock.

For over five decades, Carlos Santana has been a pioneering force in music, fusing Afro-Latin, blues, rock, and jazz into a sound that transcends genre, culture, and generation. A ten-time GRAMMY and three-time Latin GRAMMY winner, he made history with Supernatural in 1999, earning nine GRAMMYs in a single night, including Album and Record of the Year. He is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a Kennedy Center Honoree, and a recipient of Billboard’s Century and Latin Music Lifetime Achievement Awards. Rolling Stone ranks him #11 on its list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.”

Santana recently marked the 50th anniversaries of his groundbreaking album Abraxas and his iconic Woodstock performance, as well as 25 years of Supernatural. His latest album Sentient features collaborations with Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Miles Davis, DMC, and Cindy Blackman Santana. The feature documentary CARLOS, produced by Sony Music Entertainment and Imagine Documentaries, premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival and is now streaming globally. His Las Vegas residency at House of Blues, now in its 14th year, continues to thrill audiences.

Santana recently released Carlos Santana: Love, Devotion, Surrender (Insight Editions, 2025), a visual retrospective spanning five decades of his artistry. He is also the recipient of The Recording Academy’s 2026 Lifetime Achievement Award, honored for his foundational contributions to rock and world music through a singular fusion of Latin, blues, and jazz.

Tickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10AM on Friday, April 3 at Ticketmaster.com and the Rose Music Center Box Office.

Ted Nugent started “beating on my first guitar” around the age of five. Strongly influenced by Chuck Berry and Bo Diddly, he knew he wanted to pursue that type of sound and attitude. Early bands paved the way for the Amboy Dukes, and it was a feisty cover of the Dukes’ psychedelic Journey to the Center of the Mind that kicked Young Ted’s career into hyper drive.

The axe maniac broke out as a solo artist, signing with the legendary Epic Records, where the guitarist’s prodigious talent, ear shattering volume and over-the-top stage antics quickly earned him the moniker of Motor City Madman.

Cranking out hits like Cat Scratch Fever, Just What the Doctor Ordered, Free for All and the iconic Stranglehold, Nugent garnered international acclaim earned a permanent place in rock & roll history as the ultimate guitar-shredding showman, selling more than 40 million albums and performing over 6,900 high-octane live shows.

Ted Nugent was named Detroit’s Greatest Guitar Player of All Time by readers of MLive.
