TAMPA, FL — Iconic rocker Carlos Santana turns 70 this July, but that’s not stopping him from taking his show on the road. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer intends to make an Oct. 27 stop at Tampa’s Amalie Arena.

Santana’s Transmogrify Tour features songs from the musician’s 40-year career. Fans can expect to hear favorites from the performer's Woodstock days all the way through the more recent release of “Supernatural” and beyond, according to arena officials.
