The concert was postponed “out of an abundance of caution” for legendary guitarist Carlos Santana’s health, according to Michael Vrionis, the president of Universal Tone Management.

The July 9 concert was part of Santana’s Miraculous Supernatural 2022 Tour: Santana + Earth, Wind and Fire. The show was one of six postponed.

Earlier this week, Santana was taken from the stage due to serious heat exhaustion and dehydration. Doctors recommended Santana fully rest to recuperate, according to Vrionis.

“Santana profoundly regrets that these postponements of his upcoming performances; but, his health is our number one concern. He is looking forward to seeing all of his fans very soon,” said Vrionis.

Vrionis said Santana is doing well and is anxious to get back on stage soon.

A new date will be announced for the rescheduled show dates. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new dates.
