About the Venue — American Airlines Center

The American Airlines Center is a world-class arena located in the Victory Park neighborhood of downtown Dallas. Home to the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks and the NHL’s Dallas Stars, the venue seats approximately 20,000 for concerts and is known for excellent sightlines, modern amenities, and a central location with convenient access from major highways, DART rail, and nearby parking garages. The arena is located at 2500 Victory Avenue, Dallas, TX 75219.

For the Santana and Doobie Brothers show, expect a full arena concert experience with premium sound production befitting two of rock’s most musically accomplished acts. American Airlines Center has hosted countless legendary performers and provides the kind of large-scale setting where both Santana’s Latin-rock fire and The Doobie Brothers’ harmony-driven grooves can fill every seat.

What to Expect at the Dallas Show

Co-headlining concerts of this caliber typically run three to four hours, with each act performing a full headlining set of 90 minutes to two hours. Expect Santana’s signature extended guitar improvisations, the polyrhythmic grooves of his world-class band (featuring drummer Cindy Blackman Santana), and a setlist spanning from the Woodstock era through Supernatural. The Doobie Brothers deliver a set that covers both the Tom Johnston–led rock era and the Michael McDonald–led soul era, plus fresh tracks from Walk This Road.

August in Dallas means warm weather, so dress comfortably. The American Airlines Center is fully climate-controlled, but plan accordingly for any time spent outside before and after the show. Gates typically open well before showtime — arrive early to explore the concourse, grab food and drinks, and settle into your seats.

Carlos Santana — A Living Legend

Carlos Santana burst onto the world stage at Woodstock in 1969 and has spent over five decades pioneering a fusion of rock, blues, Latin, jazz, and African rhythms. His career achievements include induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1998), the Kennedy Center Honor, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (2026), and 10 Grammy Awards including nine in a single night for Supernatural. Rolling Stone ranks him among the greatest guitarists of all time. Follow Carlos on Instagram and Facebook.

The Doobie Brothers — Five Decades of Hits

The Doobie Brothers have sold more than 48 million albums worldwide, won four Grammy Awards, and were inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2020) and the Songwriters Hall of Fame (2025). Their 2025 album Walk This Road is their 16th studio record and the first to feature McDonald alongside Johnston, Simmons, and McFee since 1980. Produced by John Shanks, the album features guest appearances from Mavis Staples and Mick Fleetwood and has been praised as one of their finest works. Follow on Instagram and Facebook.

The Milagro Foundation

A portion of proceeds from Santana ticket sales benefits The Milagro Foundation, the charitable organization created by Carlos Santana and his family in 1998. Milagro supports underrepresented and vulnerable children and youth in the areas of arts, education, and health.
