American rock band Toto are returning to New Zealand for their Dogz of Oz tour with fellow musician Christopher Cross in April.

The three-city tour will take place at Auckland's Spark Arena on 23 April, Wellington's TSB Arena on 24 April, Christchurch's Wolfbrook Arena on 26 April.

The '70s band last performed in New Zealand in 2019.

Guitarist and vocalist Steve Lukather said he was thrilled about bringing the tour to New Zealand with his long-time friend Cross.

"This is a tour that works musically, from an idea that germinated months ago that was able to take flight and become a reality, I could not be more thrilled."

Five times Grammy Award winner Cross will also join Toto on their European tour in February.

Tickets for all shows go on sale at 9am, 4 February. One NZ customers, Mastercard cardholders, and My Live Nation members also have presale access.
