A Santana concert that was scheduled for September and subsequently canceled has been rescheduled.

Legendary guitarist Carlos Santana and his band will perform on Friday, April 18, at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre.

Santana were supposed to perform at Footprint Center in downtown Phoenix on Sept. 2. But on Aug. 27, a notice canceling the shows was posted on Santana's social media accounts.

"From Team Santana: As many of you are already aware, Carlos has been dealing with a back issue that will soon be treated with a corrective procedure. Due to this medical procedure, the September 2 show in Phoenix at Footprint Center, September 4 show in Albuquerque at Isleta Amphitheater, and September & October 2 - 6 shows at House of Blues Las Vegas will be canceled," the post read.

Tickets are on sale now for the rescheduled date. Although Counting Crows were the opening act for the September date, they will not appear at the 2025 show.
