Santana & The Doobie Brothers: The Oneness Tour at North Island, Tuesday, August 11

Bree Partington·Jul 15, 2026·5 min.

Santana & The Doobie Brothers' Oneness Tour hits North Island on August 11 — two legends, one stacked bill.

Overview

Two Rock & Roll Hall of Fame institutions, one stage, one of the great summer pairings of the year. Santana & The Doobie Brothers bring their Oneness Tour 2026 to North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre on Tuesday, August 11 — a co-bill stacked with five decades of radio staples, from Carlos Santana's searing Latin-rock guitar to the Doobies' harmony-soaked California rock. It's a feel-good, sing-along amphitheater night under the summer sky, and a rare chance to catch two legendary acts in a single show.

About the Show

This is a genuine double bill of heavyweights. Santana — the band Carlos Santana launched out of the Bay Area and rode all the way from Woodstock to the Grammy-sweeping Supernatural — turns Latin rhythms, blues, and rock into that unmistakable guitar sound behind hits like "Black Magic Woman," "Oye Como Va," "Evil Ways," and "Smooth." The Doobie Brothers, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers in their own right, bring the other half of the catalog: "Listen to the Music," "China Grove," "Black Water," and "What a Fool Believes," layered in the harmonies that defined an era of California rock.

Together it's a remarkable span of music — the kind of show where you realize you know far more of the songs than you expected, and the whole amphitheater is on its feet for most of them.

Why Go

A few reasons this one's worth the trip down to Chula Vista:

  • Two legends, one ticket — a rare co-headline of acts that each could fill the amphitheater alone
  • Decades of hits you already know — this is a deep, singalong-heavy setlist
  • The amphitheater setting — open-air summer rock the way it's meant to be heard
  • Living history — Carlos Santana remains one of the most distinctive guitarists alive

Good to Know

  • Parking is included in the unpaved lots, with gates typically opening at 4 PM; premier paved-lot upgrades are available
  • It's rain or shine — but August in San Diego is reliably warm and clear
  • Bring a layer — even inland, it cools down after sunset
  • Lawn vs. reserved — the lawn is the budget-friendly, bring-a-blanket option; reserved seats get you closer
  • Plan your exit — amphitheater traffic backs up after big shows, so carpooling helps
