'Toto XIV' is due out in the UK on March 23rd, with the band playing live dates in Glasgow, Manchester and London to support the release.
Formats will include CD, with a Deluxe Edition available featuring a "Making of" Documentary on DVD, expanded booklet that includes an in depth story and interview about the new album alongside exclusive pictures in ecol-book packaging. There will also be a 2LP vinyl set, and a Super Deluxe limited edition which includes the Deluxe CD/DVD edition, 2LP vinyl, an exclusive poster, t-shirt and lithograph.
"This is opposite of going through the motions,” said keyboardist Steve Porcaro. "We’re treating this like it is TOTO V, our follow-up to TOTO IV. We just want to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. Be true to ourselves and make the best music we can. Entertain people which is what we were put on this earth for."
Guitarist Steve "Luke" Lukather added: _"When you put us in a room, and everybody brings in their pieces, the next thing you know it all fits together,
“Everybody's performances are top notch. We are really bringing our best out, forcing ourselves to make personal best choices, what's best for the music. I'm really excited to hear what people think."
