TOTO headline the Summer North American Tour when it arrives at Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek in Raleigh, NC on July 29, 2026, leading a multi-city run that moves through major amphitheaters across the United States and Canada. Critics have long categorized TOTO within the intersection of arena rock, progressive pop, and jazz-informed rock, pointing to their technical precision and studio discipline as defining traits. With multiple Grammy Awards, tens of millions of records sold worldwide, and a catalog that remains deeply embedded in popular culture, the band continues to tour at a high level with a lineup built around legacy and musicianship. Recent years have focused on live recordings, archival releases, and refreshed performances of their catalog, keeping their current touring cycle active and present rather than retrospective. In parallel with touring, members of TOTO have remained involved in charitable and humanitarian efforts tied to music education and disaster relief. Raleigh is part of a tour that celebrates endurance, craft, and continued demand. https://totoofficial.com

Christopher Cross supports the tour, bringing his polished West Coast pop and soft-rock catalog to the Raleigh stop as part of a wide North American summer schedule. Music critics consistently frame Cross within the adult contemporary and yacht-rock tradition, highlighting his clean melodic structures, restrained arrangements, and studio-driven sound that defined early-1980s pop radio. His career includes five Grammy Awards from a single year, multi-platinum albums, and songs that remain staples of classic radio formats. Cross continues to release and perform new and revisited material, with recent recordings and live projects reinforcing his ongoing connection to touring audiences. Beyond the stage, he has been active in veteran support initiatives and charitable organizations connected to health and humanitarian causes. His presence on this tour adds depth and continuity to a lineup rooted in enduring American songwriting. https://christophercross.com
