Classic rock bands YES and Toto have announced a co-headlining summer tour, playing at major arenas and venues nationwide. Kicking off in early August at the Fox Theater at Foxwoods Casino, the tour will bring both bands across the country for just over a month’s worth of performing.
Yes will release a new live CD/DVD, Like It Is, on July 7th, and Toto just released their newest studio album, Toto XIV, their first in a decade.
“We are so honored to be touring with our musical heroes, YES” remarked Toto founder/guitarist Steve Lukather. “Life changing music for me and the guys and we even have a song on our new record totally inspired by them so it is a lifelong love of their music that has kept us fans to this day. We all stood and waited in line for tickets to see Close to the Edge and Topographic.. many many shows as young upcoming musicians/fans in the 70’s and were blown away and inspired to be better musicians and composers by YES’s amazing music, musicianship and insanely cool live shows. This is a crazy dream come true for us and we can’t wait to do this tour and to make new friends and solidify old friendships.”
