What was announced (Sept. 22, 2025)

Carlos Santana confirmed an expanded 2026 leg of his Las Vegas residency at House of Blues inside Mandalay Bay. The new shows land in January, February, and May 2026, extending a strip tradition that’s now in its 14th year. All shows are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. PT.

Why this matters

Santana’s Vegas production is a best-of showcase with a crack band, arena-level sound in an intimate room, and a setlist that reliably hits “Black Magic Woman,” “Oye Cómo Va,” “Maria Maria,” and “Smooth.” For fans who want the signature tone, percussion-heavy grooves, and extended solos without stadium sightlines, this residency is the sweet spot.

Setlist & production notes (what fans can expect)

  • Career-spanning hits: A tight, high-energy show with extended jam sections and the classic percussion frontline.

  • Room & mix: The House of Blues layout keeps sightlines close and the mix punchy; Santana’s lead tone is the star, supported by polyrhythmic grooves and keyboard textures.

  • Pacing: Expect a 90–105 minute set with minimal downtime and a big, cathartic finale.
