This unusual concert triple-header is heading to your town

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Toto, Christopher Cross and the Romantics are teaming up for a 2026 summer concert tour.

Of course, a pairing of the first names makes a lot of sense. After all, Toto and Christopher Cross are both first-tier yacht rock acts. But the Romantics? They are way more power pop than yacht rock.

But all three of them have plenty of cool hits to play, so maybe this triple-header may end up working out just great.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Dec. 12, totoofficial.com/events/.

Toto, known for the mega-hits “Africa,” “Hold the Line” and “Rosanna,” is coming off a really big year — having played to more than a half a million fans, while generating over a billion streams, in 2025.

Cross is best remembered for his 1980 self-titled debut album, which made Grammy history as it propelled the artist to the first ever sweep of the “Big Four” awards — record, album and song of the year, plus best new artist.

The Romantics are known for the incredibly catchy power-pop/new wave tunes “What I Like About You,” “Talking In Your Sleep,” “One In a Million,” “Rock You Up” and ”When I Look In Your Eyes.”
