Santana is crisscrossing the United States for his Oneness Tour 2025, named after a 1979 solo live album consisting mostly of instrumental guitar ballads. In June, he will kick off an international leg, traveling throughout Europe over the summer before returning to play a slate of shows as part of a Las Vegas residency. Originally one part of a larger band, Santana was the lead guitarist and founder of his eponymous group before breaking out on his own. In recent years, he and his former bandmates have reunited briefly for performances and press appearances, though his current tour bills him as a solo act. Contributing: Edward Segarra, USA TODAY
