Guitarist Carlos Santana and his band are returning to the Las Vegas Strip later this year with a newly announced series of performances at the House of Blues inside Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The additional run extends the artist’s 2026 residency program and brings eight more dates to the city in November.
November dates and ticket timeline
The newly announced Las Vegas performances are scheduled for Nov. 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14 and 15, 2026. Ticket sales for the November shows follow a staged presale schedule before general public availability.
- Wednesday, July 8 — Citi cardmember presale begins at 10 a.m. local time
- Thursday, July 9 — Artist presale begins at 10 a.m. local time
- Friday, July 10 — Live Nation presale begins at 10 a.m. local time (access via All Access membership)
- Saturday, July 11 — Remaining tickets on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster
The residency is presented under the banner
“An Intimate Evening with Santana: Greatest Hits Live: Presented by SiriusXM.”Local fans planning to attend should note the presale windows and membership requirements for the Live Nation presale, and verify venue policies at Mandalay Bay ahead of purchase.
Charitable partners and broader tour context
Organizers said a portion of proceeds from the Las Vegas shows will support Santana’s The Milagro Foundation, the nonprofit founded by Santana and his family focused on education, health and the arts for underserved children. Additional proceeds will benefit the House of Blues Music Forward Foundation, which works to use music as a development tool for young people.
The November residency announcement comes as Santana continues an active touring schedule. The musician is currently co-headlining dates with The Doobie Brothers through late August and is already scheduled to return to Las Vegas for previously announced performances in September before the newly revealed November run.
| Venue | Residence series | November dates |
|---|---|---|
| House of Blues, Mandalay Bay | An Intimate Evening with Santana: Greatest Hits Live | Nov. 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 2026 |
What this means for Las Vegas
More residency dates at a major Strip property generally boost hospitality activity — from hotel bookings to dining and ground transportation — particularly in cooler months when visitor demand shifts. For residents, the additional shows broaden entertainment options at a widely accessible venue and create opportunities to support the musician’s charitable initiatives. Fans seeking tickets should plan for presales and monitor official channels for any venue or ticketing updates.
For more information and the full list of tour dates, fans can consult Santana’s official website and Ticketmaster. Purchases and event-day details are subject to the terms posted by Mandalay Bay and the presenting promoters.
