TOTO, CHRISTOPHER CROSS And THE ROMANTICS Announce North American tour Together In 2026
TOTO, CHRISTOPHER CROSS and THE ROMANTICS have announced plans to tour North America Summer, 2026, produced by Live Nation. The run commences on July 15 in Bethel, NY at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts with 32 appearances planned prior to the final event on August 30 in Toronto, ON at the RBC Amphitheatre. The general on-sale begins on Friday, December 12 at 10AM local time here: https://totoofficial.com/events/.
This past year has been one of the strongest in Toto’s 48 years of existence with more than a half a million fans coming out to see them perform, alongside over a billion streams counted this year alone. The weekly average is more than 20 million plays at the DSPs, which has triggered additional certifications throughout this past year. Total streams at Spotify exceed four billion and seven billion across all platforms.
Toto’s largest hit “Africa” has achieved the milestone of TWO BILLION plays at Spotify alone, while “Hold The Line” exceeds ONE BILLION streams. On the sales side, “Africa” has been certified DIAMOND by the RIAA (10 million sold), with cumulative sales now approaching 11M. Additionally, “Hold The Line” has been certified triple platinum for sales of three million copies, while “Rosanna” hit the milestone of double platinum for sales of two million copies.
Cumulative Toto album sales are 50 MILLION plus copies.
For all members past and present, one of the most exciting details to celebrate is the continual aging down of the band’s audience. Consistently, more than half of the billion annual streams are plays from those 34 years or younger. The live audience present night to night has truly become a celebration of three generations coming together.
Individually and collectively the band’s family tree can be heard on countless Grammy Award winning albums across all genres. Toto are one of the few 70’s bands that have endured the changing trends and styles while continuing to remain relevant. Led by Steve Lukather and Joseph Williams, the band features a collection of lifelong friends many deem amongst the best players on planet Earth.
Special guest Christopher Cross and the members of Toto have been friends and collaborators for more than four decades. On September 1, 2024, Christopher performed as direct support for Toto at the Hollywood Bowl. Subsequently, the two artists have toured the world together performing across Europe, Australia, New Zealand and The U.S. this past Summer. In December, they’ll travel to Chile, Argentina and Mexico with one another.
Christopher Cross burst onto the music scene with his 1980 self-titled debut album winning five Grammy Awards, including – for the first time in Grammy history – the “Big Four” most prestigious awards: Record of the Year (for the single “Sailing”), Album of the Year, Song of the Year (“Sailing”), and Best New Artist. In a career spanning more than four decades, Cross has sold more than 12 million albums. His music has garnered five Grammys, an Oscar, a Golden Globe, an Emmy nomination and five Top 10 singles.
The Romantics formally became a band on Valentine’s Day, 1977. Bred on the streets of Detroit’s east side, they were inspired by American Roots Rock, the British Invasion and their hometown music scene. Nearly 50 years later, they are still celebrated for having created some of the most influential and beloved rock of all time. Known for their MTV video hits including “What I Like About You,” “Talking In Your Sleep,” and “One In A Million,” along with fan favorites “Rock You Up,” and ”When I Look In Your Eyes”.
Their hits are a staple on classic, new wave and contemporary terrestrial rock radio, as well as numerous television commercials (Budweiser, Toyota), movie soundtracks (Shrek, Grown Ups 1&2, Five Nights at Freddy’s) and hit series (Stranger Things). The Romantics have also been enjoying airplay courtesy of Little Steven’s Underground Garage radio show on Sirius XM, 80’s on 8,1st Wave and Classic Vinyl. The Romantics – Wally Palmar on Lead Vocals, Coz Canler on Lead Guitar, Bruce Witkin on Bass, Joey Malone on Guitar, and Mike Rizzi on Drums – are currently touring across The World in 2025 and 2026.

TheLoveland Tour will include stops at some of North America’s most iconic venues including stops at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Forever Cemetery on July 23rd and New York City’s Radio City Music Hall on September 24th, and will feature support from Charlotte Lawrence, Rochelle Jordan, and Love Spells. Tickets go on sale starting with an artist presale on Wednesday, April 29 at 10am local, sign up HERE. Additional presales will run ahead of the general onsale which begins on Friday, May 1st at 10am local HERE.
The Loveland Tour is in support of Suki’s forthcoming album, which she recently announced will be out July 10th via Island Records. Following the album announcement, Suki dropped her new single “Tiny Raisin,” which Billboard included in their best new music of the week list praising, “True to form, Suki Waterhouse takes listeners on a ride,” and Wonderland who commented, “She wails, she vocally sashays, and she sings her heart out on this fuck you, love you anthem.”
Loveland follows Suki’s sophomore album Memoir of a Sparklemuffin – an album that established her as an evocative storyteller, consummate creative, and a powerhouse live performer. The album was released to critical acclaim with Interview Magazine calling it “her most vulnerable body of work yet” to the Los Angeles Times praising how she “sparkles and shines” on the album, and SPIN hailing that it “marks an important milestone, solidifying her as an artist with a presence as enigmatic as it is captivating.”
On stage, Suki is, as NYLON declares, “one of music’s greatest showmen.” She has sold out her own headlining tours, opened for artists like Taylor Swift and Laufey, and graced many festival stages including Coachella and Lollapalooza, the latter of which she will return to this summer.

Shaboozey Announces Sprawling Outlaws Never Die Tour
Today, the GRAMMY®-winning, record-breaking singer-songwriter Shaboozey has announced the Outlaws Never Die Tour. Following its July 31st release, his new concept album The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales will come to life onstage alongside beloved hits as Shaboozey brings his lauded, high-energy show to theaters and arenas throughout America and Canada.
Presales are live on Wednesday, April 29 at 10AM local time, with general onsale launching on Friday, May 1st at 10AM local time. Buy tickets HERE.
After previously announced festival dates throughout the summer, Shaboozey will kick off the Outlaws Never Die Tour with a show in Phoenix in early September. Across the run, Shaboozey will invite an array of special guests and past collaborators echoing the genre-blurring adventurousness and crossover appeal of his music, including Brittney Spencer, Noeline Hofmann, Kashus Culpepper, Carter Faith, and Angel White. BigXThaPlug will also join for two special shows in Canada, while Noah Cyrus will open at Colorado’s hallowed Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The tour concludes with a blowout finale at Los Angeles’ famed Greek Theatre.
Shaboozey has partnered with PLUS1 for the Outlaws Never Die Tour, with $1 from each ticket supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
“Music has an extraordinary power to bring people together and inspire change, and we’re incredibly grateful to Shaboozey for using his voice and his tour to support St. Jude through this PLUS1 campaign,” said Lyles Eddins, Senior Vice President of Development for ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “Generosity like this helps ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, so they can focus on helping their child live.”
The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales is a cinematic outlaw revenge story with a tragic love at its center. After watching her sheriff father murdered by the Bootcut Boys, Cherie Lee abandons the badge and hunts the gang down one by one. In the middle of her vengeance, she unexpectedly falls for one of the outlaws. He believes loving her can redeem him; she hopes loving him can quiet her darkness. They’re both wrong. In the final act, Cherie chooses blood over love, killing the man who loves her most and fully becoming what she set out to destroy.
The news of Shaboozey’s latest album arrives to more anticipation than ever, following a whirlwind two years kicked off by 2024’s breakthrough record Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going and a slew of smash hits including the GRAMMY®-nominated “Good News” and the history-making, Diamond-certified “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” Last year, Shaboozey released the expanded edition of Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, featuring “Amen” with Jelly Roll, which won the GRAMMY® for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. Earlier this month, he received two Academy Of Country Music Award nominations, including New Male Artist Of The Year and Music Event Of The Year for “Amen.” The Outlaws Never Die Tour marks Shaboozey’s return to solo dates after joining Jelly Roll as a special guest in Australia on the Down Under 2025 Tour, as well as criss-crossing America with a string of sold-out shows on his own Great American Roadshow tour last fall.
