Santana at Albany Med Health System at SPAC | July 1, 2026

By Marc Delacroix · May 6, 2026

The Oneness Tour 2026 brings Santana and The Doobie Brothers back together for the first time since their 2019 Supernatural Now Tour — and Saratoga is their first New York stop. The show is Wednesday, July 1, 2026 at 7:00 PM at Albany Med Health System at SPAC, 108 Avenue of the Pines, Saratoga Springs.

About Santana

Carlos Santana’s relationship with the summer amphitheater circuit has always been about more than catalog maintenance. A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee whose 26-album discography spans more than fifty years, he has built something rarer than a legacy: a live reputation that holds up on its own terms. His blend of Afro-Latin, blues, rock, and jazz is genuinely hard to place in any decade, which may explain why none of the decades have managed to leave him behind.

The commercial and critical peak came in 1999, when Supernatural swept nine Grammy Awards in a single evening — Album of the Year and Record of the Year among them. He is a 10-time Grammy winner and a three-time Latin Grammy winner. The Oneness Tour is billed around “high-energy, passion-filled songs spanning fifty years.” In Santana’s case, that bill tends to be accurate.

About The Doobie Brothers

The Doobie Brothers arrive here as a full co-headliner — this is not a pairing where one act is warming up the room. Active for more than five decades, with more than 48 million albums sold and four Grammy Awards, they are one of the more durable acts in American rock. Their roots-based, harmony-driven, guitar-forward sound travels well in open-air settings, and SPAC’s lawn is one of the better places in the region to hear it. They will also be drawing from Walk This Road, their recent album, alongside the catalog material that makes them reliable draws on bills like this one.

Venue Information

SPAC — the Saratoga Performing Arts Center — enters its 60th anniversary season in 2026, and a co-headline bill of this scale is exactly the kind of booking the room was built for. The amphitheater holds 25,000 total: 5,200 sheltered pavilion seats and an expansive lawn accommodating 20,000. Venue policies require clear bags (maximum 12″×6″×12″ or small clutches) and prohibit glass containers, coolers, and large backpacks. Full details at spac.org.
