Santana postpones Tampa show

Santana’s show Sunday (Aug. 26) at the Ask Gary Amphitheatre in Tampa has been postponed.

Tour dates on Friday and Saturday at the Hard Rock in Hollywood, Fla., have also been postponed.

"It is with great regret that the upcoming performances featuring Carlos Santana and the Santana Band have been postponed due to circumstances beyond our control," reads a news item on the  Santana website. 

"Universal Tone Management is working diligently to reschedule these performances. We would like to thank all of the fans in Florida for your patronage, and we look forward to bringing you the music of Carlos Santana in the very near future. Ticket refunds are available at point of purchase."

Britney Spears to play Tampa?

On Tuesday, Britney Spears' North American tour dates were announced.

After kicking things off in California on June 17, Brit Brit plays Florida in July. Check out the open date between Orlando and Miami:

I have no confirmation, but think it's a pretty safe bet Spears might be returning to Tampa's St. Pete Times Forum where she played in 2009 or hitting the nearby Gary Amphitheatre on July 21.

Stay tuned...
