Toto
Germania Insurance Amphitheater — Austin, TX

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.

Known for Africa, Rosanna, Hold the Line, I'll Be Over You, Stop Loving You Today

Toto rolled through AT&T Center in April 2023 with the kind of setlist that rewards people who've actually listened to more than just the hits. They opened with 'Afraid of Love' and worked through the obvious ('Hold the Line', 'Africa'), but it was the deeper cuts that stuck—'White Sister' and 'I'll Supply the Love' sit in that sweet spot where you remember why you cared about the band in the first place. They closed the main set with 'Africa', which is fine, it's a good song. San Antonio's always been solid for them, and this show was proof the band still knows how to pace a night.

San Antonio's music scene tends to lean Tejano, conjunto, and Tex-Mex, but classic rock still has its foothold here. The city supports the kind of arena acts that built their fanbase in the 80s and 90s, and Toto fits that mold perfectly. AT&T Center and the Majestic Theatre keep those touring bands coming through, giving longtime fans regular chances to catch the acts that soundtracked their lives.

Stay in Southtown, where the gallery scene and restored Victorian homes give you something real to walk through between dinner reservations at Cured, which does thoughtful Italian-influenced cooking without pretension. Catch the show, then spend the next morning at Pearl Brewery itself—the district's worth an hour of wandering. The Majestic Theatre or the Tobin Center are your likely venues depending on the tour routing. Head to the McNay Art Museum if you've got afternoon time; it's one of the better regional collections in Texas and won't feel like you're wasting daylight.
