Carlos Santana's tour derailed again following COVID diagnosis
The 77-year-old Rock & Roll Hall of Fame musician was set to perform Wednesday, April 23, at the Smart Financial Center in Sugar Land as part of his Oneness Tour 2025, but is now resting at his hotel following a positive test.
The news comes one day after Santana was hospitalized for dehydration and forced to cancel his San Antonio show at the Majestic Theatre.
'Unfortunately, out of an abundance of caution, the decision was made to also postpone this evening's show in Sugar Land,' Santana's longtime manager, Michael Vrionis, said in a statement. 'Carlos experienced dehydration yesterday, and has since tested positive for COVID. I am happy to report that Carlos is doing well and will be back on his US Tour this Friday.'
Fans of the guitarist, renowned for classics such as 'Black Magic Woman' and the chart-topping hit 'Smooth,' are advised to hold onto their tickets as both Texas shows will be rescheduled.
The tour launched April 16 in Highland, California, and Santana is still expected to perform in Oklahoma this weekend and later in Nashville and New Orleans. A Las Vegas residency is scheduled to follow.
Despite recent health setbacks, including a fall earlier this year and previous hospitalizations, Santana recently told the Associated Press that fans could expect 'a whole lot of energy and freshness and high consciousness and hope and courage' from the tour.

Megadeth announces final album, farewell tour: 'Forged in steel, ending in fire'
The end is near for Megadeth. Band founder, singer and guitarist Dave Mustaine announced – via his skeletal alter ego Vic Rattlehead – the rockers' forthcoming album will be Megadeth's last. 'Forty years of metal, forged in steel, ending in fire,' Rattlehead says in an apocalyptic-themed video. 'You've heard the warning. Now, prepare yourselves and meet me on the frontlines.' Megadeth will also embark on a global farewell tour in 2026 and Mustaine is prepping a new memoir. Details and dates on all will be announced in the coming months. 'There's so many musicians that have come to the end of their career, whether accidental or intentional,' Mustaine says in an announcement about Megadeth's finale. 'Most of them don't get to go out on their own terms on top, and that's where I'm at in my life right now. I have traveled the world and have made millions upon millions of fans and the hardest part of all of this is saying goodbye to them.' Mustaine, 63, has been the only consistent member of the band since forming it in 1983 in California. Throughout its tenure, Megadeth – along with Metallica (in which he previously served as lead guitarist), Slayer, Iron Maiden and Anthrax – brought metal to the masses. The band has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide and in 2017 scored a Grammy Award for best metal performance ('Dystopia'). Megadeth's most recent album, 'The Sick, the Dying … and the Dead!' arrived in 2022, three years after Mustaine was diagnosed with throat cancer. The combination of his illness and the COVID-19 pandemic prompted the delay. The album hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts for hard rock, rock and alternative albums. Along with Mustaine, Megadeth currently includes drummer Dirk Verbeuren, guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari and bassist James LoMenzo. Mustaine took a philosophical view of ending his musical career, saying in the announcement, 'Don't be mad, don't be sad, be happy for us all, come celebrate with me these next few years. We have done something together that's truly wonderful and will probably never happen again. We started a musical style, we started a revolution, we changed the guitar world and how it's played, and we changed the world.'

Cool "Encanto" Facts That Enhance Your Viewing
In 2021, the world fell in love with the Madrigal family. Encanto's popularity has only grown since then — and a lot of fans believe it is the best Disney movie of the century so far. The magic is everywhere in and out of the movie, so I did some digging for some fun facts that we will talk about (unlike Bruno). Here are 23 Encanto fun facts that will make you feel right at home: Stephanie Beatriz was originally going to play Luisa. Unlike her signature role as the rugged Rosa Diaz in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Beatriz's real-life personality eventually led the filmmakers to offer her the leading role of Mirabel. Speaking of Beatriz, she actually auditioned for a part in the film by singing "You're Welcome" from Moana. That's making a bold first impression. Encanto is actually the first Disney animation to utilize full-time choreographers. To better capture Colombian cultural inspirations and dance styles, choreographers Jamal Sims and Kai Martinez were brought on to breathe life into the moves of the animated characters. Mirabel was initially known as Beatriz. Ultimately, Mirabel was chosen, based on the Spanish word "mira," meaning "to look." As for Bruno, he was originally called Oscar. With all that green, I'm glad they didn' been too Oscar the Grouch-coded. Colombian children do indeed drink coffee at a young age. So the coffee kid was a reference to that. I'm a grown man and still hate good on you, Colombian kids. Like most Disney movies, field trips were required to better study the culture of Colombia. Although the filmmakers went once, COVID-19 canceled Disney's second research trip. Pepa's gift was initially meant to be "indestructibility." Would've been hard to showcase for his big doorknob ceremony, but I'm sure producers had a plan. During the scene where Isabela shares her true feelings about her engagement, she uses her gift to create a cactus that is shaped like Mickey Mouse. Hidden Mickey confirmed? The filmmakers left clues about characters' gifts through clothing. Luisa has dumbbells and other weights on her skirt. Pepa has golden sun earrings. Camilo has chameloeons on his poncho. And many more clues throughout the family's wardrobe. According to Jared Bush, the woman whose fish had died was known as Senora Pezmuerto, which roughly translates to "Mrs. Dead Fish." I think the writing was on the wall for her fish. F in the chat for fish. Mirabel dances her way (literally to her own beat) when singing alone, but during the other Madrigals' songs, she does her best to learn and match their rhythms and dance "languages." Mirabel does not have a comical sidekick. A first in Disney movies, this was done intentionally to let the main character stand on their own. Most of the Latin voices that appear in the movie are from Colombian-born or Colombian-descent actors. Abuela's real name is Alma, which means "soul" in Spanish. In the beginning of the film, Mirabel dances through a game of Tejo, the national sport of Colombia, which includes beer and gunpowder and derives from the Indigenous groups who dwell there (imagine explosive cornhole). Luisa's bedroom door symbol is a reference to the Colombian weightlifter Maria Isabel Urrutia, who was the first Colombian athlete to win a gold medal at the Olympics. Bruno's costume was purposely designed to fade into the background. The color used is called "go-away green," a color used by Disney Imagineers to make your eye skim past buildings and structures. Sebastián Yatra agreed to be part of the film before he even knew what it was about. He quite literally did the "Where do I sign?" When under the bed with Antonio, Mirabel uses her lips to point toward her gift to him. Lip pointing is a gestural system used in South American and other cultures. And lastly, composer Lin-Manuel Miranda has said that the song "Surface Pressure" was inspired by his older sister, Luz. What is your favorite Encanto moment? Comment below! Watch Encanto on Disney+.

Trey Anastasio announces 3 NYC Beacon Theatre shows. Get tickets today
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. In fall 2020, Trey Anastasio was performing live when virtually no one else was. Rather than sit out due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Phish frontman headlined eight 'Beacon Jams 2020' concerts at NYC's Beacon Theatre for an audience of zero. The shows were live-streamed for his adoring Phans and raised 'more than $1.2 million to establish the Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program,' according to Jam Bands. Five years removed from the now historic act, the jam band pioneer is headed back to the Upper West Side for three more shows at the Beacon Theatre on Friday, Nov. 28, Saturday, Nov. 29 and Sunday, Nov. 30. 'The performances will feature a range of formats, including Trey Anastasio Band and the return of The Rescue Squad Strings,' Anastasio shared via Instagram. 'Proceeds from the shows will benefit the the Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program.' At the final 'Beacon Jams' show on Nov. 27, 2020, the singer-guitarist performed 19 songs, according to Set List FM. That included Phish songs like 'Carini,' 'Love Is What We Are,' 'Pebbles and Marbles,' 'Fast Enough For You' and 'First Tube.' According to Anastasio, 'The Beacon Jams shows were the most artistically satisfying thing I've ever worked on. They meant so much to everyone involved–not just the audience, but the musicians as well. Everyone was hungry for music and connection, and somehow we found a way to create community in the middle of such a messed-up, isolating moment. Even the name felt meaningful–like we were shining a searchlight into the fog and manifesting something positive out of something so negative.' Prior to the Beacon run, Phish will perform at festivals, amphitheaters and coliseums all over North America from Sept. 12-21. Fans Phans can purchase tickets for all upcoming Trey Anastasio shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the November Beacon Theatre residency is Friday, Aug. 15. Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand. They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

Phish tour schedule 2025 When Trey isn't putting on solo shows, he'll play with the band that made his name. If you'd like to catch them live, here's where you can find Phish this year. Trey Anastasio set list As noted above, Anastasio's final 2020 Beacon Theatre gig took place on Nov. 27. Based on our findings at Set List FM, here's what he performed that evening. 01.) 'Just a Touch' 02.) 'Carini' (Phish song) 03.) 'Mozambique' 04.) 'Burn That Bridge' 05.) 'Cayman Review' 06.) 'Speak to Me' 07.) 'Love Is What We Are' (Phish song) 08.) 'Pebbles and Marbles' (Phish song) (with Rescue Squad Strings) 09.) 'Drifting' 10.) 'Night Speaks to a Woman' 11.) 'Liquid Time' 12.) 'Fast Enough for You' (Phish song) 13.) 'Shine' 14.) 'Show of Life' (Trey Anastasio Band song) 15.) 'Ether Sunday' 16.) 'Simple Twist Up Dave' 17.) 'Slave to the Traffic Light' (Phish song) (with Rescue Squad Strings) 18.) 'First Tube' (Phish song) 19.) 'March Party' Trey Anastasio new music On Sept. 20, 2024, Anastasio dropped 'Atriums.' Comprised of six tracks — all of which are anywhere from 14 to 16 minutes long — the record is a spacey, experimental trip, allowing the freewheeling Big Red to noodle, mess around and fiddle finding lush, feedback-heavy soundscapes along the way. To dive deep into the trippy and sometimes foreboding offering, you can find the expansive, mind-altering 'Atriums' here. More recently, Trey collaborated with Guerilla Toss and Pavement frontman Stephen Malkmus on the angsty single 'Red Flag to Angry Bull.' Huge jam bands on tour in 2025 While Trey might be the face of unpredictable live rock and roll, many other artists who promise 'no two set lists are the same' will be on the road these next few months.
