Rod Stewart & Santana Live tickets on Goldstar!

unnamedGoldstar has discounted tickets to the August 16, 7:30 pm performance of Rod Stewart & Santana Live: The Voice, the Guitar, the Songs at the Allstate Arena.  Ticket start at only $35!

Two powerhouses hit the stage for one great concert at Allstate Arena. With his distinctively raspy voice, narrative songwriting and passionate live performances, Rod Stewart has built one of the most successful and enduring music careers of all time, from his time with the Jeff Beck Group and Faces (“Stay With Me”), through his solo years (“Reason to Believe,” “Maggie May,” “Forever Young”) and onto his most recent incarnation as a top interpreter of standards and soul classics. In a career spanning more than five decades, he’s sold more than 150 million albums worldwide and has countless chart-topping hits and industry accolades — including two inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Last May, Stewart released Time, his first rock album in more than a decade. It entered the UK Albums Chart at No. 1, setting a new British record for the longest gap between chart-topping albums by an artist — and is Stewart’s highest-charting album of original material in the U.S.since 1979. Between tours, Stewart regularly sells out shows at Las Vegas’ Caesars Palace, where, recently, audiences were treated to a surprise appearance by Carlos Santana. The guitarist accompanied Stewart’s slow-burning blues song “I’d Rather Go Blind,” and a joint tour was born. A true music icon, Carlos Santana made a name for himself by blending his Latin music roots with blues and jazz influences to create a form of rock that’s unmistakably his own. Over the past 40 years, his sound has in turn affected the Latin music that first inspired him, leading to an evolution of the genre. On his first Spanish-language album, Corazón, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Latin Albums chart and No. 9 on the Billboard 200 — Santana’s 13th top 10 debut since 1969 — the master celebrates the sounds of modern Latin music, while also calling upon that classic Latin style that started it all.
