March 18
To say Carlos Santana is a
legend doesn’t seem to do him
justice. His guitar riffs and solos
grace some of the best songs
across many genres, and Rolling
Stone named the high priest of
Latin American rock one of the
greatest guitarists of all time. yet again why he is one of the
best-selling artists of all time.

Judas priest The Illusionists
March 25 March 27-April 1
If you think one of the greatest
heavy metal bands on the planet
was just going to sit on its laurels,
you’ve got another thing coming.
Judas Priest brings its hell-raising
18th studio album to life on their
North American Firepower tour.
Judas Priest’s oldest member,
guitarist Glenn Tipton, is 70 but
that doesn’t mean this quintet
can’t thrash like they used to. Brace yourself for an epic
journey into a dizzying world of
magic and illusion that makes
even skeptics’ jaws drop. The
Illusionists feature disappearing
acts, death-defying stunts, mind
reading, magic inventions, levi-
tation, and simply astounding
trickery executed by the world’s
most accomplished magicians
and acrobats.
