Toto announce 2025 UK and European tour
Toto have announced a UK and European headline tour for 2025 – you can find all the details below.
The Los Angeles band, whose hit singles include ‘Africa’ and ‘Hold The Line’, are due to hit the road next February. It’ll mark their first run of UK dates in seven years, though they did play a standalone London show in 2019.
Kicking off in Glasgow (February 1), the stint will also include performances at arenas in Birmingham (2), Manchester (4) and London (5).
From there, Toto will head to Europe for gigs in Brussels, Paris, Zurich, Copenhagen, Oslo, Helsinki and other locations throughout the month and into early March. Christopher Cross is set to support the group at the concerts.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am BST this Friday (September 13) – you’ll be able to buy yours here (UK). Pre-sale information can be found on Ticketmaster.
Check out the full itinerary in the post below.
Toto’s 2025 UK tour dates are:
FEBRUARY
01 – OVO Hydro, Glasgow
02 – BP Pulse Live, Birmingham
04 – AO Arena, Manchester
05 – OVO Arena Wembley, London
Joining Steve Lukather (guitar/vocals) and Joseph Williams (vocals) on the tour will be Greg Phillinganes (keyboards/vocals), Shannon Forrest (drums), John Pierce (bass), Warren Ham (horns/percussion) and Dennis Atlas (keyboards/vocals).
As announced earlier this year, Toto are also scheduled to return to Brazil for the first time in 17 years. They’ll take to the stage in Sao Paulo on November 24, 2024 before heading to Rio De Janeiro on November 26.
Toto released their 14th and final studio album, ‘Old Is New’, back in 2018. They subsequently decided not to make any more full-length projects together.
In 2021, Lukather explained that “there’s not going to be another Toto record” during an interview with MisplacedStraws.COM (via Ultimate Classic Rock).
“Joe and I can make records that have some of the cats on it,” he said at the time. “We can go out and play as Toto. We get the audience, we pay off the people that sued us and we go forward.”
