Toto has announced the first set of dates for their summer U.S. tour, which will begin on June 2 in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The shows are billed as “An Evening With Toto” and their performances will feature repertoire for their latest studio album XIV, classic hits and both band and fan favorites from their vast catalog in performances that will stage two hours of music. Last summer, Toto embarked their first U.S. headline run in over a decade.
The core Toto members—Steve Lukather, David Paich, Steve Porcaro and Joseph Williams—will be joined by Lenny Castro (percussion), Shannon Forest (drums), Shem von Schroeck (bass) and Warren Ham (saxophone, vocals). Guitarist Lukather said, in a press release, “We had such a great time last summer that we wanted to regroup and hit some cities we didn’t get to last time. Always a thrill to bring our full show around the country.”
