Toto are bringing their Dogs Of Oz World Tour to Australia this April, not only to perform at Bluesfest, but also to play two headline shows.

Set to be joined by special guest Christopher Cross, the shows will take place at Melbourne’s John Cain Arena on Wednesday, 16 April, and Sydney’s ICC Sydney Theatre on Saturday, 19 April.

A Telstra pre-sale will begin on Thursday, 30 January, at 9 am local time until Monday, 3 February, at 9 am local time. The TEG MJR pre-sale will take place on Monday, 3 February, at 9 am local time until Tuesday, 4 February, at 9 am local time.

In a statement, Toto’s Steve Lukather said of the band’s upcoming Australian shows, “It’s been seven years, and we’ve really been trying hard to get back to Australia. We can’t wait to see you all this April.”

Christopher Cross added, “I am very excited to be coming back down under to perform for my fans and to share the stage with my friends TOTO.”

In a review of Toto’s 2019 show at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, The Music’s Brendan Crabb remarked that the evening showcased a “well-honed show that did exactly what it said on the tin; a greatest hits-style evening punctuated by Toto's trademark genre-hopping prowess and instrumental flair.”

The Music’s Bryget Chrisfield added that their show at Melbourne’s Festival Hall was “note-perfect, but never devoid of groove. Minds blown.”
