Through 2010, The Joint will be the only place west of the Mississippi where fans can see Santana perform.
"Supernatural Santana: A Trip Through the Hits" will debut May 27, featuring the artist's "signature fusion sound in a show designed exclusively for the new venue," AEG Live said in a news release.
