In the early 1980s, if one were to tell you they were going to see Toto, Men At Work, and Christopher Cross in concert, you might safely assume that those would be three different shows. You might also ask the person going to the gigs, "Why do you like Christopher Cross?
Decades later, Toto and Cross are firmly entrenched as lynchpins for the relatively new moniker, Yacht Rock. They are soft rock icons who had a number of hits, and in the case of Toto, one massive-selling album. Are they good? Meh.
Men At Work is the outlier on the recently embarked upon tour of the three musical artists. The Aussies aren't hard rock at all, but they don't have the same sound as Toto and Cross. They (and by "they," it's really Colin Hay) are more nuanced. And great.
Men At Work, Christopher Cross and Toto might be the 2025 tour you don't want to miss
The trio of artists' tour began last week, and we have included those dates below simply so you know what you might have missed, and the tour didn't get the press it should have. You have a lot of chances to make up for the whiff, though.
Of note, Toto appears to be the lead. In the first concert, Men At Work played nine songs, Cross played nine, but Toto played 18. If you are not a fan of Toto, you might want to plan for an early night. The dates are as follows:
