The band is set to release its 17th studio album, "Freedom," next year. Last summer, the band headlined the Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago, uniting thousands of fans across generations with their decade-spanning setlist of beloved anthems.

About Toto

Over the past several years, Toto had had a significant renaissance in popularity like few bands at this point in their career. In 2018, the band marked their 40th anniversary by releasing their brand-new greatest hits album, "40 Trips Around The Sun" and embarked on their most successful worldwide tour to date. Few ensembles in the history of recorded music have individually or collectively had a more significant imprint on pop culture than Toto members. As individuals, the band members can be heard on an astonishing 5,000 albums that synchronously amass a sales history of half a billion albums. Amongst these recordings, NARAS applauded the performances with more than 200 Grammy nominations.  

 

Collectively, Toto has over two billion streams worldwide on all streaming services. "Africa," one of their biggest hits, went from a platinum single to recently becoming recertified six-time platinum. The band has also found a new generation of fans. With now 40+ years together and thousands of credits, including the biggest-selling album of all time: Michael Jackson's "Thriller," and accolades to their names, Toto remains one of the top-selling touring and recording acts in the world. They are the benchmark by which many artists base their sound and production. They continue to transcend the standards set by the entire music community, being simply synonymous with musical credibility. They are pop culture and are one of the few 70's bands that have endured the changing trends and styles, continuing to remain relevant while enjoying their multi-generational global fan base.
