Durham — are you READY for a night of dancing with the legendary Hall of Fame Rock and Rollers that will have us jamming and singing all night long?! ‘Cause this April on Friday the 3rd - Durham P.A.C. is turning into a cosmic cathedral of rhythm, soul, and that signature Santana magic when Carlos Santana and the crew come to the stage. Bringing the Oneness Tour straight to the heart of the Bull City. DPAC has hosted icons before, sure - but this one is gonna feel like church, a spiritual experience. This is legacy and fifty years of history, culture, and world-shifting music all coming together in one night that’s gonna leave us all floating three inches off the ground when it's all said and done. And yes, this is ONE stop of his limited 10-city Oneness Tour — a run so exclusive that every appearance feels like a once-in-a-lifetime blessing. So yeah, we’re pretty lucky - and yeah, we need you right here in the front row.
So - I mean, who REALLY doesn’t know who Santana is - Let’s talk about the man of the hour. Carlos Santana has been shaping the soundtrack of our world since the late 60s — a guitarist who changed the DNA of rock forever when he fused Latin rhythms, psychedelic rock, blues, and spiritual jazz into something nobody had ever heard before. From his mind-melting set at Woodstock to the revolutionary Abraxas era, to reinventing himself for an entirely new generation with the diamond-selling Supernatural (yes, the one with Smooth, Maria Maria, Corazón Espinado, and half the biggest hits of the early 2000s), Santana has always been a step ahead of the rest of us. He’s sold over 100 million records, won 10 GRAMMYs, earned a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and played to millions across the world — and this tour? It’s his reminder that music isn’t just sound - It’s connection and it feels like family, like we’re one in one with the band (uhhh, ONENESS) and quite frankly, we’re so here for it.
And the man has said it himself — this tour is about creating a tangible spiritual connection between artist and audience, a moment where everyone in the room feels aligned. It’s energy, it’s love, it’s purpose. So when those first guitar notes cry out across DPAC and the band locks into that legendary Santana groove? Oh, we’re ascending.
You do not want to miss this one, folks. Grab your friends, your family, your concert buddies — whoever you share your musical soul with — and get your tickets ASAP. Durham is about to experience something sacred, electric, and absolutely unforgettable. See you there!
