The world of music is bracing for a once-in-a-lifetime event: Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, and Mick Jagger have confirmed a 2026 global tour, aptly titled โONE LAST RIDE.โ This announcement has sent shockwaves through fans who never dreamed of seeing these living legends share the same stage. The tour promises not just concerts, but a grand revival of the spirit that shaped generations of rock & roll lovers.
Clapton, revered for his soulful guitar tone, Santana with his fiery Latin-infused sound, and Jaggerโs electrifying stage presence represent three pillars of modern music history. Each of these icons has defined an era, creating anthems that have transcended borders, languages, and time. Together, they intend to weave their individual legacies into one unforgettable narrative.
According to organizers, โONE LAST RIDEโ will not merely be a nostalgia trip, but a celebration of musicโs enduring power to connect hearts across generations. Fans can expect setlists blending solo classics like Claptonโs โTears in Heaven,โ Santanaโs โSmooth,โ and Jaggerโs Rolling Stones hits, alongside unique collaborations. The prospect of these three legends performing together on the same stage is being called โa historic gift to the world.โ
The tour is set to begin in London in May 2026, before expanding to North America, Latin America, Asia, and Australia. Venues are expected to sell out instantly, with pre-sale demand already overwhelming ticket platforms. Promoters describe the show as โa spiritual journey through decades of music that changed the world.โ
What sets this tour apart is its emotional undertone. For many fans, this will likely be the last time to see these icons perform at such scale, as age and time remind us of the fleeting nature of life and art. The title โONE LAST RIDEโ reflects not just a tour, but a farewell embrace to millions who grew up with their voices and guitar riffs.
Beyond the music, the three artists have hinted at sharing personal stories on stageโmoments of triumph, loss, and resilience that shaped their art. Such storytelling is expected to deepen the concert experience, turning each night into a living documentary of rock & roll history. This combination of music and memoir ensures the tour will be remembered as far more than just another series of shows.
As anticipation builds, the cultural significance of this tour becomes undeniable. In a world often divided, โONE LAST RIDEโ stands as a reminder that music can still unite us, heal us, and carry us beyond time. For Clapton, Santana, and Jagger, this is more than a performanceโit is their legacyโs final roar.
