Carlos Santana is celebrating two very important career milestones during his 2019 tour.
The first, chronologically speaking, is the 50th anniversary of his iconic performance at Woodstock in 1969.
The second — which provides the name for this upcoming tour — is the 20th anniversary of his biggest album, 1999’s “Supernatural.”
And, yes, the Supernatural Now Tour includes a Bay Area date.
Santana and his band perform June 26 at Shoreline Amphitheatre at Mountain View.
The group also has a date on June 27 at Toyota Amphitheatre in Wheatland (Sacramento area).
San Jose’s own The Doobie Brothers, one of the best Bay Area bands of all time, opens the tour.
Tickets go on sale Jan. 25, www.livenation.com.
Santana reflects on the “cosmic significance of both anniversaries occurring in the same year,” according to a news release.
“Both were monumental moments in my life. Woodstock and ‘Supernatural’ took me to places I never dreamed were possible,” Santana says. “I embraced those incredible moments in my life with all my heart. Both were supreme lessons in maintaining focus, heart and integrity in every step every day and to strive to better oneself with a high standard on and off the stage. I cannot think of these two moments without thinking about Mr. Bill Graham and Mr. Clive Davis. They are two of many angels in my life that helped shape my career.”
Santana is also scheduled to perform at the BottleRock Napa Valley festival in May.
