Ongoing Residency and Setlist Highlights

Santana’s residency, now in its 14th consecutive year, continues to be a major draw on the Vegas Strip. Alongside the newly announced 2026 shows, 11 additional concerts are set for the House of Blues in 2025, including dates in September and November.

The show, titled An Intimate Evening with Santana: Greatest Hits Live, features a rich selection of the guitarist’s enduring classics. Fans can expect to hear signature songs like “Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen,” “Evil Ways,” and “Soul Sacrifice.” The setlist also includes hits from Santana’s Grammy-winning 1999 album Supernatural, such as “Smooth,” “Maria Maria,” and “Put Your Lights On.”

Proceeds from ticket sales support charitable efforts, including The Milagro Foundation, which Santana co-founded in 1998 to assist underserved children and youth with programs in the arts, education, and health. Additionally, the House of Blues Music Forward Foundation benefits from ticket revenue, providing mentorship and music education opportunities to young people.

New Collaborations and Recent Releases

Alongside his live performances, Santana remains active in the studio. In May 2025, he released “Me Retiro,” a collaboration with the Texas-based band Grupo Frontera, known for their contributions to regional Mexican music, or Música Mexicana.

Earlier that year, Santana also unveiled Sentient, an 11-track compilation featuring remastered versions of select tracks from his extensive catalog, curated by the artist himself. The album includes notable collaborations with legends such as Smokey Robinson, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, and the late Michael Jackson and Miles Davis. It also features three previously unreleased recordings, offering fans fresh material alongside classic sounds.

With his Las Vegas residency extended and new music on the horizon, Carlos Santana continues to balance honoring his legacy with exploring new creative avenues, solidifying his status as one of rock’s most enduring icons.
