Carlos Santana and co are set to return to these shores for a mini tour - their first since 2008 this October. The legendary Latin jazz/ rock legends are now at the stage in their career where they can pick and choose their gigs, and they've decided to bless London, Manchester and Newcastle with with Carlos' wonderful showmanship on 1st, 2nd and 3rd October.

The last time Carlos played over in the UK was at 2009's Silverstone Classic where he shared top billing with the Pussycat Dolls. I'm sure they were very pleasing to his eye but the man deserves a show where he is the one and only marquee name and by gum will this promise to be a show and a half. Now into his sixth decade of performing Santana still enjoy a loyal following as well as constantly grabbing new fans through modern collaborations (including recent singles with Chad Kroeger, J-Lo and Shakira).
