The band, featuring original Toto guitarist Steve Lukather as well as singer Joseph Williams, will be stopping off at select North American cities from February through April. A European leg is planned for July and August, with seven German dates just announced and the complete itinerary forthcoming.
The venerable songsmiths have much to celebrate. Toto has experienced an incredible resurgence in popularity in the past decade, perhaps best exemplified by their racking up over 3.4 billion streams on Spotify.
