The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion will host back-to-back classic-rock nights Thursday, Aug. 20, and Friday, Aug. 21, with Chicago and Styx opening the stretch and Santana and the Doobie Brothers closing it.
Tickets for the Santana show start at $44.10 and run up to $221.35 on Ticketmaster. Both shows begin at 7 p.m. at the Pavilion, 2005 Lake Robbins Dr.
The Woodlands date is the third of four Texas stops on the Oneness 2026 tour, which also hits El Paso, Austin and Dallas. Santana is co-headlining with the Doobie Brothers, whose current lineup includes three original members: Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons and John McFee, joined by Michael McDonald, according to KISS El Paso.
A recent setlist from the tour's Chula Vista, California, stop gives Woodlands fans a preview of what to expect. The show featured deep cuts alongside crowd favorites "Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen," "Oye Como Va," "Evil Ways," "Maria Maria" and "Smooth." Setlists can vary from night to night.
The night before, Chicago and Styx bring their Windy Cities Tour to the same stage. Chicago's current touring lineup features cofounder and trumpet player Lee Loughnane, along with lead vocalist Rudy Cardenas, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. Cofounders Robert Lamm and James Pankow stepped away from touring due to medical issues.
The El Paso Times reported on Aug. 15 that tickets for all Texas stops remain available through Ticketmaster. The Pavilion box office at woodlandscenter.org also lists both shows.
Upcoming at the Pavilion:
- Thursday, Aug. 20: Chicago & Styx, The Windy Cities Tour, 7 p.m.
- Friday, Aug. 21: Santana & the Doobie Brothers, Oneness Tour 2026, 7 p.m.
