The tour so far, for context

Carlos Santana is a Grammy-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist whose band has carried his signature Latin-infused rock sound to arenas and festivals for more than five decades. The Planet of Free Will tour is his first newly announced global run for 2027, and it leans on the European festival and arena circuit: after London it moves through Paris, a Swiss festival stop at Kestenholz, German arenas and open-air stages, Italian summer festivals at Pordenone and Lucca, and on through Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Norway, and Finland.

The tour sits alongside one of the longest-running residencies in Las Vegas. Santana's An Intimate Evening with Santana: Greatest Hits Live residency at the House of Blues inside Mandalay Bay resumed in November 2026 and continues with two 2027 blocks — January 20-31 and May 12-23 — meaning fans have two very different ways to see him in 2027: the intimate Las Vegas room or the big European summer stages.
