Carlos Santana Universal Tone Tour 2010 to Begin European Leg on September 29 Following a Summer Itinerary in North America

LOS ANGELES, April 27, 2010 - The Carlos Santana Universal Tone Tour 2010 will embark on a month-long
European leg beginning September 29 with a concert at The O2 arena in Dublin,
Ireland. A show at the London O2 is slated for October 1; additional dates in
the UK and across the European continent will follow. The European itinerary
follows an initial summer North American leg of the Universal Tone Tour.

Universal Tone Tour 2010 highlights in Europe include shows at Manchester
Evening News Arena in Manchester, UK (10/2); Hallenstadion in Zurich,
Switzerland (10/9); Palais Omnisport Paris-Bercy in Paris, France (10/12), O2
Arena in Prague, Czech Republic (10/15), Olympiahalle in Munich, Germany
(10/17); and the Fila Forum in Milan, Italy (10/19). Additional European
dates will be announced in the coming weeks.

The Universal Tone Tour 2010 will feature hits from Santana's
four-decades-long career, as well as songs from a brand new studio album that
Carlos Santana is currently putting finishing touches on. Santana's most
recent release was the 2010 reissue of Supernatural as a 2-CD Legacy
Edition-featuring 11 previously unissued bonus tracks-in celebration of the
classic nine-time GRAMMY-winning album's 10th anniversary.
