Over the past year, Toto has continued to reach new heights in their storied career. Their timeless anthem “Africa” was officially certified DIAMOND by the RIAA in the U.S. for selling 10 million copies, with current sales exceeding 10.5 million. Meanwhile, their hits “Hold the Line” and “Rosanna” have achieved triple platinum and double platinum status, respectively. Streaming numbers are equally staggering—”Africa” has surpassed 2 billion streams on Spotify, “Hold the Line” has crossed 1 billion, and the band’s total streams across all platforms now exceed 6 billion. With over 50 million albums sold worldwide and more than 3 million daily streams on Spotify alone, Toto’s music continues to resonate with fans, with over 50% of their listeners under the age of 34.

Of course, a Toto concert wouldn’t be complete without their other classics, including “I’ll Be Over You,” “99,” “I Won’t Hold You Back,” “Lea,” and “Georgy Porgy.” Their ability to remain relevant across generations is a testament to their unparalleled musicianship. The current lineup features Steve Lukather (guitar/vocals), Joseph Williams (vocals), Greg Phillinganes (keyboards/vocals), Shannon Forrest (drums), John Pierce (bass), Warren Ham (horns/percussion/vocals), and Dennis Atlas (keyboards/vocals).

Toto has long been admired not just by fans but also by fellow musicians. The late Eddie Van Halen once praised them as the dream band for any musician, calling them “the best musicians collectively in any band.” With a legacy spanning decades, their influence in the industry is undeniable.

Currently in the midst of their world tour, Toto is performing across Europe, Australia, and New Zealand before heading to Asia, with Manila as a key stop before they kick off their U.S. tour in July.
