Tribute to TOTO is hitting the road. The Dutch tribute band, founded by Twan Dirks and Jeroen Teunissen from Deurne, has announced a full theatre tour across the Netherlands. Stops include Roermond, Papendrecht, Emmen and Zaandam.
Teunissen: "We'll play the well-known classics, but we've also added some musical surprises to the show." Dirks is especially looking forward to Venray and Roermond. "I've been going there as an audience member since I was a kid. Playing there myself is something special."
The band will also return to the cultural centre in Deurne in April. Dirks: "That's become an annual tradition by now."
Tribute to TOTO previously competed in The Tribute: Battle of the Bands on Dutch TV channel SBS6, narrowly missing the final. The dream of playing the Ziggo Dome is still very much alive. Teunissen: "It would be great to get there one day."
Dirks looks even further ahead: "Touring abroad would be amazing. And festivals like Nirwana Tuinfeest and Bospop — that would be incredible."
The band recently performed in front of over 6,000 people at the KOZ Festival in their hometown. Dirks: "Playing for that many people in your own village — that never gets old."
