Santana & The Doobie Brothers Bring the Oneness Tour to Jones Beach

The Oneness Tour rolls into Northwell at Jones Beach Theater on Thursday, July 2 at 7:00 PM ET, with Santana and The Doobie Brothers sharing the bill. Two legendary catalogs, one night — this is a set list built for singing along from the first song.

Getting There: Plan for the Heat

The show itself is indoors, so once you’re through the doors, the weather is a non-issue. But the National Weather Service has Thursday pegged for a sunny day with a high near 95°F and heat index values as high as 102 — so the walk from your car to the venue is where you’ll actually feel it.

Give yourself extra time for parking and the walk in. Lots fill up fast for a double bill like this, and standing around in direct sun while cars shuffle into spaces isn’t fun in that kind of heat. Wind will be light, 5 to 12 mph out of the southwest, so it’s more about sun exposure than anything else on the way in.

Gear Up for the Show

This is a merch-table night if there ever was one. Rep your fandom with a Santana t-shirt or a Santana hoodie for the ride home, grab a Santana hat to wear on the walk in, and a Santana poster is an easy way to bring the night home with you.

If you know Santana’s guitar work gets loud (and it does), a set of concert ear plugs high fidelity is worth having in your pocket — they take the edge off volume without muddying the sound.

Inside the Venue

Once you’re inside, forget the forecast. Amphitheater interiors and covered seating areas tend to run cooler than the parking lot, so a light layer isn’t a bad idea if you tend to run cold once the sun goes down and the AC kicks on.

Arrive with plenty of buffer before 7:00 PM ET — between parking, security, and finding your seat, cutting it close on a hot day means starting the night rushed and sweaty instead of ready to enjoy Santana and The Doobie Brothers.
