Two Legends, One Stage
🎸 Santana
Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Carlos Santana — the Woodstock legend and guitar icon behind "Black Magic Woman," "Oye Como Va," "Maria Maria," and the Grammy-sweeping "Smooth." His Latin-rock sound is instantly recognizable.
🎶 The Doobie Brothers
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees behind "Listen to the Music," "China Grove," "Long Train Runnin'," "Black Water," and "What a Fool Believes" — five decades of harmony-driven American rock.
🕊️ The Oneness Tour
A co-headline celebration bringing both bands' catalogs together for one night — two full sets of hits that defined classic rock radio.
What to Expect from the Show
🎙️ Two Full Sets of Hits
This is a true co-headline night — both Santana and The Doobie Brothers deliver full sets packed with signature songs. Come early and stay late.
🎸 Guitar-Driven Classics
From Santana's soaring solos to the Doobies' twin-guitar grooves, it's a night built for anyone who loves classic rock played by the artists who made it.
👨👩👧👦 A Multi-Generational Crowd
These songs span more than 50 years, so expect fans of every age singing along. It's one of the most feel-good arena nights of the summer.
Know Before You Go
Bag Policy
American Airlines Center allows bags no larger than 14"×14"×6", plus wristlets, clutches, or wallets up to 4.5"×6.5" at all entrances. Clear bags are encouraged (not required) and speed up entry. No backpacks. Every guest passes a metal detector and visual inspection — confirm at americanairlinescenter.com.
Cashless Venue
American Airlines Center is a cashless building. Bring a major credit card or mobile pay for concessions, merch, and parking; cash-to-card kiosks are available on-site if you only have cash.
Parking Fills Fast
On-site garages and lots (Lexus Garage, lettered lots, valet) open about two hours before the show at roughly $10–$30, and premium lots sell out for big events. Hiring QTS eliminates parking entirely and lets your driver stage nearby.
All Ages & Family
This is an all-ages show and fans of every generation attend together. Check americanairlinescenter.com for any child-ticket and lap-child rules, and keep younger fans close in the Victory Park crowds.
Tickets
Buy only through official channels — Ticketmaster and Live Nation. Resale prices vary and fraudulent listings are common. QTS does not sell event tickets; we get you to the door.
Arrive Early for Security
Metal detectors and bag checks at every entrance, plus a full house arriving at once. Arrive early — lines build fast. Hiring QTS means you arrive on a schedule, not circling Victory Park for a space.
Why Book QTS for the Santana & Doobie Brothers Concert
American Airlines Center sits in Victory Park, wedged between I-35E (Stemmons Freeway), the Dallas North Tollway, and Woodall Rodgers — a tight, high-traffic pocket just north of downtown Dallas. On event nights, garages fill early and the exit crawls. Rideshare prices surge 3–5x the moment thousands of guests request a pickup at once.
