| Toto European Tour - Legendary 80's band to Regroup |
 Toto are to getting back together for a European summer tour in 2010, in honour of former bassist Mike Porcaro who is suffering from ALS (Lou Gerhig’s) disease. The exact band line-up has yet to be confirmed, but it is expected to include guitarist Steve Lukather, vocalist/keyboard player David Paich, keyboard player Steve Porcaro, drummer Simon Phillips, vocalist Joseph Williams and bassist Nathan East.
Toto is a Grammy Award winning American rock band founded in 1977 by some of the most popular and experienced session musicians of the era. The band enjoyed great commercial success in the 1980s, beginning with the band's self-titled debut, released during 1978. Continuing with 1982's critically acclaimed and commercially successful Toto IV, Toto became one of the best selling music groups of their time. They are known for such hit singles as "Hold the Line", "Rosanna", "Africa", and "Stranger in Town". Although their popularity in the United States diminished in the 1990s and 2000s, they continued to tour and sell out theaters and arenas in Europe. Toto were known for their technical skill in the studio, as well as a musical style that combines elements of pop, rock, soul, funk, progressive rock, hard rock, R&B, and jazz. Although they were regularly associated with the soft rock genre, this broad array of musical styles helped them appeal to a variety of musicians and non-musician listeners. The band released 17 albums and have sold over 30 million records to date. Their 18th album Falling In Between Live, was released in August 2007. It was recorded in March 2007 in Paris. As a result of guitarist Steve Lukather's departure from the band, which he agreed with the other members, Toto broke up after the last leg of their 2008 tour. The band is reforming during the summer of 2010 for a tour of Europe to benefit Mike Porcaro, who is living with the fatal ALS (Lou Gerhig's) disease. 09 - Jul - 2010 Friday Clam Burg Clam Austria 10 - Jul - 2010 Saturday Wiesen Lovely Days Festival Austria 16 - Jul - 2010 Friday Singen Hohenentwiel Festival Germany 17 - Jul - 2010 Saturday 83671 Benediktbeuern Kloster Benediktbeuern Germany 20 - Jul - 2010 Tuesday Copenhagen KB Hall Denmark More dates to be added Related Articles: theBizmo Chosen Among 400 High Growth Companies by The European Web and Mobility Summit theBizmo is proud to announce that it has been chosen as one of the
