The much-anticipated North American tour featuring iconic yacht rock artists Toto, Christopher Cross, and Men at Work is set to sail across the continent in the summer of 2025, much to the delight of music lovers and fans of the nostalgic genre. As announced, this tour is a testament to the enduring allure of yacht rock, a genre that pairs smooth melodies with evocative nostalgia. The collaboration between these titans of soft rock promises an extensive array of performances, kicking off on July 18th in West Palm Beach, Florida, and concluding on August 30th in Ridgefield, Washington. This comprehensive tour will cover over two dozen cities, hitting major markets across the United States including Boston, Nashville, Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and Noblesville.

The tour's announcement comes at an exciting time for the fans of this era-defining sound, coinciding with the resurgence in popularity spurred by HBO Max's new *Yacht Rock: A DOCKumentary*. This film highlights the timeless appeal of bands like Toto and Christopher Cross, galvanizing their already strong fan base, which remarkably includes a significant portion of younger audiences. As these artists prepare to hit the road, they offer fans both a trip down memory lane and an opportunity for new listeners to discover the smooth sounds of the yacht rock era firsthand. With Toto’s enduring hit “Africa” and Men at Work’s “Down Under” on the bill, concerts are expected to draw audiences from various generations, promising exciting renditions of these timeless tracks.

The momentum for this tour is markedly heightened by the camaraderie and history shared among the performers. Steve Lukather of Toto expressed his excitement about the upcoming events, highlighting his longstanding friendship with Christopher Cross and Colin Hay of Men at Work. These mutual friendships suggest a dynamic and synergistic on-stage experience. Hay echoed this enthusiasm, noting that the collaborative mix “rings true” to him, anticipating an engaging night that will captivate audiences, both old and new. The sentiment is further supported by Christopher Cross, who expressed his honor and excitement about sharing the stage with “dear friends.”

Ticket sales for this tour are structured around multiple presale opportunities, helping fans secure their spots well in advance. Beginning with a Citi cardholder presale on December 11th and followed by a Live Nation presale on the 12th, general ticket sales open on December 13th. This strategic planning ensures fans nationwide can acquire tickets in advance and prepare for a summer filled with iconic performances. Concert-goers are encouraged to seize the opportunity early, given the expected high demand for these legendary acts' performances.
