More Performances for Las Vegas Residency
Carlos Santana has announced his first set of 2026 concert dates, adding over 15 new performances to his long-running residency, An Intimate Evening With Santana: Greatest Hits Live, at the House of Blues in Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay. These new shows are scheduled for January, February, and May 2026, joining the nearly dozen concerts already on Santana’s 2025 calendar.
This marks the 14th year of Santana and his band performing at the Las Vegas venue. The guitarist continues to draw fans eager to hear his signature blend of rock, blues, and Latin sounds in an intimate setting. Tickets for the new dates go on sale Friday at 1 p.m. EST, giving fans another chance to experience his celebrated live show.

Health Challenges and Recent Performances
Earlier this year, Santana faced health issues that briefly interrupted his touring plans. In April, he postponed two Texas shows after collapsing at a soundcheck. Despite the scare, he returned to the stage for a series of overseas festival dates and began his latest Vegas run on September 17, 2025.
These incidents follow previous health setbacks. In early January 2025, Santana delayed several Las Vegas performances after falling at his home. Back in 2022, he postponed tour dates after collapsing onstage in Michigan due to what was described as “heat exhaustion and dehydration.” Even with these challenges, he has kept his commitment to live music and his fans.
New 2026 Dates Announced
The 2026 run begins January 21 at the House of Blues and continues with shows on January 22, 24, 25, 28, 29, and 31, followed by a final January performance on February 1. After a short break, Santana and his band return in May 2026 for an additional eight performances on May 13, 14, 16, 17, 20, 21, 23, and 24.
These new dates expand on the remaining 2025 concerts, which include performances on September 24, 25, 27, 28 and November 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 15, and 16. Fans can look forward to a continuous stretch of shows that showcase Santana’s greatest hits in an intimate venue known for its excellent acoustics and close audience connection.
A Residency That Keeps Growing
Santana’s House of Blues residency began more than a decade ago and has become a fixture of the Las Vegas music scene. The guitarist’s ability to blend classic songs with fresh improvisation keeps the performances engaging for both longtime followers and new listeners. Each concert offers a mix of chart-topping hits and signature guitar solos that highlight his unique style.
As the 14th year of residency approaches, the expanded schedule demonstrates his ongoing commitment to the venue and to the fans who travel from around the world to see him perform live. With these newly announced dates, Santana ensures that his Greatest Hits Live experience will continue well into 2026, offering audiences more chances to enjoy his enduring music.
