Carlos Santana is bringing his legendary guitar back to House of Blues at Mandalay Bay in 2027. Fans get more chances to catch his greatest hits live as the residency stretches into its fifteenth year.
Las Vegas will keep hearing Carlos Santana’s guitar for years to come. The music icon just locked in new 2027 dates for his House of Blues residency at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. That means his mix of rock, blues, and Afro-Latin sounds will keep echoing down the Strip for a fifteenth straight year.
Santana’s 2027 run includes eight shows in January—on the 20th, 21st, 23rd, 24th, 27th, 28th, 30th, and 31st. He returns for eight more in May: the 12th, 13th, 15th, 16th, 19th, 20th, 22nd, and 23rd. Every show starts at 8 p.m. The format stays the same: up close, evening sets, just like fans have come to expect.
Santana's Las Vegas residency began in 2012 and by 2027 will reach its 15th year, making it one of the longest-running active rock residencies on the Strip.
New residency dates and ticket access
Tickets for the 2027 shows go on sale to the public Friday, October 2 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. There are several presale options.

More support goes to the House of Blues Music Forward Foundation, which helps young people build skills and find opportunities in music.
Live Nation Las Vegas, which promotes Santana's residency and owns House of Blues, has officially confirmed the new 2027 dates, providing independent verification of the extension. The residency is formally titled 'An Intimate Evening with Santana: Greatest Hits Live: Presented by SiriusXM' and continues to be a cornerstone of the venue's programming.
Residency longevity and upcoming performances
Santana’s residency, officially called An Intimate Evening with Santana: Greatest Hits Live: Presented by SiriusXM, has been a mainstay at House of Blues since 2012. He’s not slowing down. November 2026 shows are already on sale for November 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, and 15.
As reported by Vegas Report, Santana’s steady presence at House of Blues has shaped the venue’s reputation as a live music hotspot on the Strip. Few residencies last this long in Las Vegas. Most acts come and go. Santana stays.
Legacy and impact on Las Vegas entertainment
Santana’s career spans more than fifty years. He’s won 10 Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammys. His 1999 album Supernatural turned him into a global star, earning nine Grammys in one night. He’s in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, is a Kennedy Center Honoree, and in 2026 received the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award for his work in rock and world music.
For Las Vegas, Santana’s residency is more than just another concert. It’s a sure thing for visitors and locals who want top-tier live music in a small venue. House of Blues lets fans get close to Santana and his band. That’s rare for an artist of his level. The residency keeps getting extended. Demand is still strong. The Strip still wants legacy acts. Santana’s run proves Las Vegas can keep long-term residencies alive without losing steam or relevance. The music goes on.
