SANTANA ANNOUNCES 2015 DATES FOR THE CORAZON TOUR

Ten time GRAMMY®-Award and Three time Latin GRAMMY®-Award winning rock icon and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Carlos Santana and his band SANTANA have added spring and summer 2015 dates to The Corazon Tour. Kicking off May 8 in St. Petersburg, Florida, the tour will visit U.S. cities in South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Texas. Santana will play one show in Monterrey, Mexico on March 21 before teaming up with legendary rock band Journey for two special shows in Mexico: March 26 in Guadalajara March 27 in Mexico City.  In July 2015, the Corazon Tour continues as Santana heads to Europe to headline energy fused shows in locations like Berlin's O2 Arena, London's O2 Arena, Amsterdam, Brussels, Hamburg, Luxembourg, Monaco, Verona, and more.

The tour follows the launch of Carlos Santana's memoir "The Universal Tone: Bringing My Story to Light" which Oprah and NPR included in their Best Books of 2014 lists, and the continuation of his House of Blues Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino multi-year residency of An Intimate Evening with Santana: Greatest Hits Live.

Corazon is Santana's first-ever Latin album (RCA/Sony Latin Iberia) featuring superstar collaborative performances by Latin Music's finest. The album is certified U.S. Latin Double Platinum and was the top selling Latin Music album in the United States for six consecutive weeks.

For forty years and as many albums later, Santana has sold more than 100 million records and reached more than 100 million fans at concerts worldwide. To date, Santana has won ten GRAMMY ® Awards and three Latin GRAMMY ® Awards.  He won a record-tying nine GRAMMYs for a single project for 1999's Supernatural (including Album of the Year and Record of the Year for "Smooth") as well as three Latin GRAMMYs. He has also received the Billboard Century Award (1996), was ushered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1998), received the Billboard Latin Music Awards' Lifetime Achievement honor (2009), and was the recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors Award (2013). Among many other honors, Carlos Santana has been cited by Rolling Stone as #15 on their list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time." And, with the 2014 release of Corazon, Santana surpassed the Rolling Stones and, along with Barbara Streisand, is one of only two music acts in Billboard history to score at least one Top Ten album for six consecutive decades from the 1960s on. Earlier this year, Santana released his first ever Latin Music album entitled Corazon on RCA/Sony Latin Iberia, featuring superstar collaborative performances by Latin Music's finest. The album is certified U.S. Latin Double Platinum and was the top selling Latin Music album in the United States for six consecutive weeks. Santana is currently headlining a multi-year residency at House of Blues at Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas. This fall, Carlos Santana released his memoir "The Universal Tone: Bringing My Story to Light." It's a profoundly inspiring tale of spiritual commitment and musical fearlessness that does not balk at finding the humor in the world of high-flying fame, nor at speaking plainly of Santana's personal revelations, and the divine and infinite possibility he sees in each person he meets.
