About Toto

Toto formed in Los Angeles in 1977 as a supergroup of session musicians who decided to make records together. The band features Dennis DeVore on vocals, Steve Lukather on guitar, David Paich on keyboards, and Jeff Porcaro on drums, among rotating members. They hit immediately with Hold the Line in 1978 and never really stopped. Africa became their defining moment—a song so ubiquitous it transcended the band itself and became part of the cultural fabric. Rosanna followed as another massive hit. What gets lost sometimes is that these guys could actually play. They won a Grammy for Toto IV in 1983 and kept making albums for decades. The band broke up briefly in the 90s but reunited and has kept touring. They're the kind of band that appeals to people who think they don't like 80s pop rock until Africa comes on.

Toto shows are exactly what you'd expect: well-played, energetic, and full of singalongs. Crowds lose it when Africa hits. The band sounds tight because these are genuinely skilled musicians. Sets lean heavily on the hits but show they've got range.

Toto + Minneapolis

Toto's Minneapolis history is relatively sparse, but they did touch down at Mystic Lake Casino in April 2024, where they performed at the Mystic Showroom. That 18-song set included the deep cut 'Girl Goodbye,' suggesting the band was willing to dig into their catalog for this crowd rather than just working through the hits.

Live Music in Minneapolis

Minneapolis has always been more about its own homegrown sound—Prince, The Replacements, Hüsker Dü—than importing arena rock acts. But the city's music venues have hosted plenty of '70s and '80s legacy acts over the years. Toto slots into that touring circuit of bands still drawing crowds decades after their commercial peak, playing casinos and mid-size halls where the demographics skew toward people who actually remember when 'Africa' was a new song.

Minneapolis road trip to see Toto?

Stay in the Northeast Minneapolis arts district—it's where the city's creative energy actually lives, with galleries, vintage shops, and the Mississippi River nearby. Eat at Café Alma in the same neighborhood for restrained, high-quality Italian cooking. Spend an afternoon at the Walker Art Center, which sits on a rise overlooking downtown and has genuine landscape appeal. Grab coffee at Spyhouse, a roaster that takes itself seriously without the performative nonsense. The Stone Arch Bridge is worth a walk if the weather cooperates.
