El Paso, get ready. Two Rock and Roll Hall of Fame powerhouses are teaming up for one massive night in the Sun City.
Santana and The Doobie Brothers are bringing the Oneness Tour 2026 to the UTEP Don Haskins Center on August 16, 2026, and this one feels historic.

Santana hasn’t performed in El Paso since the 1980s. Let that sink in. Decades have passed since Carlos Santana last brought that unmistakable guitar sound to our city. Since his fingers shredded sweet song out of his guitar and regaled us El Pasoans!
The Doobie Brothers were last here in 2019, but this tour is different. Three original members, Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons, and John McFee, will be on stage, and they’re joined by Michael McDonald. That lineup alone makes this a must-see for longtime fans.
