WITH WORLD HITS THROUGH THE SUMMER NIGHT
"The most important thing is the health of the fans, the band, the crew and of all the people involved in our touring activities. As much as we want to finally play live again after 14 months in isolation, it was an easy decision to postpone the tour for a year," says TOTO mastermind Steve Lukather. So instead of July 2021 as planned, the American superstars won't return to our open-air stage until summer 2022. Three years and three days after the brilliant sold-out show at the Z7 Summer Nights 2019. With over 40 million records sold, TOTO are one of the most successful still active bands of our time. The current line-up around founding member Steve Lukather and his long-term companion Joseph Williams will present not only all TOTO hits and fan favorites, but also highlights from Lukather's and Williams' current solo albums on the occasion of "The Dogz of Oz" World Tour 2022.
It was one of the most beautiful and musically superior concert experiences Z7 has seen in its illustrious 27-year history. TOTO's sold-out open-air show in front of the Prattler Rocktempel in summer 2019 thrilled fans from the first to the last note. And rarely have so many musicians* been seen in the audience as during the performance of the Californian legends. Many probably thought it would be the last chance to enjoy TOTO's music live in such a setting. But band boss Steve Lukather has not had enough yet. Together with singer Joseph Williams, his friend from teenage days, he wants to carry the music of TOTO into the future with refreshing and optimistic enthusiasm. Lukather is the only member of TOTO who has been on every recording since the band's inception 45 years ago and has not missed a single concert. Williams joined the band in the 1980s and sang on the albums "Fahrenheit" (1986)and "The Seventh One" (1988). He rejoined as lead singer in 2010. On February 26, 2021, the two musicians released new solo records with "I Found The Sun Again" (Lukather) and "Denizen Tenant" (Williams), on which they support each other as guest musicians. Highlights from them will of course be heard on the upcoming tour. The new TOTO line-up, now the fifteenth in the band's history, includes bassist John Pierce (Huey Lewis and The News) and drummer Robert "Sput" Searight (Ghost-Note, Snarky Puppy, Snoop Dogg). Rounding out the lineup are keyboardist Dominique "Xavier" Taplin (Prince, Ghost-Note) and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Warren Ham (Ringo Starr), who joined the band on the last tour. Lukather explains, "Right now, Joe and I are the only long-term members of the band who want to continue to be on the road to perform TOTO's music to our multi-genre fan base. I have spent nearly four and a half decades of my life nurturing and keeping our musical legacy alive. I will never stop doing that." And the guitarist and singer, who has appeared as a studio musician on more than 1,000 recordings for notable peers such as Michael Jackson, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Joe Cocker and Chicago, states, "The Dogz of Oz" World Tour offers a rare opportunity to reinterpret our individual futures while maintaining a deep connection with our audiences and continually discovering new things. We hope to execute the planned itinerary in the summer of 2022 that will finally bring us back to our fans around the world."
