In the Forbes interview, Santana expressed his excitement about getting back on the road. “Music is my healing, my soul, and what connects me to the people,” Santana said. “After everything we’ve been through these past few years, I want to bring that healing energy to as many places as possible. We’re going to make this tour something really special.”
The tour, which has been dubbed the “Miracles and Divine Light” tour, is set to begin in June 2024, with stops across North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. Fans will be treated to an electrifying combination of classic hits from Santana’s legendary discography, including tracks from albums like Abraxas and Supernatural, as well as new material from his latest album.
Key Tour Dates
Santana has confirmed over 40 tour dates spanning from June to October 2024. Some of the most highly anticipated performances include his return to iconic venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York, the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, and the O2 Arena in London.
The tour will kick off with a major performance at the Oracle Park stadium in Santana’s hometown of San Francisco, California. Santana shared with Forbes that this opening show will be particularly emotional for him. “San Francisco is where it all began for me. Playing there again after so many years feels like coming full circle,” he said.
The European leg of the tour will include major cities like Paris, Berlin, and Madrid, while the Asian portion will feature stops in Tokyo and Seoul. Santana will also perform at various music festivals, further expanding the reach of this tour to include new and younger audiences.
