Comedic great George Lopez and music legend Carlos Santana are teaming up as co-headliners for Divine Rascals, a series of shows slated for September and October. The special tour — featuring a set from Santana and standup from Lopez– marks the first time the two have been billed together.
The Divine Rascals itinerary includes performances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO (Sept. 3-4); Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA (Sept. 24); Sleep Train Pavilion at Concord in Concord, CA (Sept. 25); and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA (Oct. 1). Tickets for Divine Rascals shows go on sale May 13. Check www.santana.com for Santana fan club pre-sale information.
“I’m delighted to be going on the road with George Lopez,” says Carlos Santana. “Besides giving me the chance to perform alongside a dear friend, these shows take me back to the grand old Bill Graham days, when different kinds of entertainment were featured on the same bill. Divine Rascals will be a joyous experience.”
Carlos and the Santana Band will perform classics from the group’s four-decades-long career, and spotlight songs from Santana’s latest album, Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time (2010, Arista Records). With its release, Santana joined the Rolling Stones as one of only two music acts in Billboard chart history to score at least one Top Ten album in each decade from the 1960s through the present.
