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 + Sacramento

Toto rolled through Golden 1 Center in April 2022 with the kind of setlist that rewards the people who've stuck with them beyond the radio hits. They dug into "Orphan" and "White Sister," songs that show why their catalog runs deeper than everyone remembers. "Rosanna" and "Africa" landed where they belong—not as novelties, but as actual centerpieces of a band that's been refining their craft for decades. Sacramento got the full picture of what Toto does best: precise, soulful rock that doesn't need to shout.

Live Music in Sacramento

Sacramento's music scene has always been more hip-hop and roots-rock focused, but the city's grown into a decent touring market for arena acts and legacy acts. The '80s soft rock and AOR that Toto epitomizes finds an audience here among people who came of age with the radio and never really left it. Golden 1 Center has become the natural home for these kinds of shows.
