Toto “Dogz Of Oz Tour” Is Coming To Minnesota In 2022

Toto announced dates for their new "Dogz Of Oz" Tour and one of the stops will bring them to Southern Minnesota.

Toto, known for songs like "Africa" and "Rosanna" is bringing their show to the Mystic Showroom. The band has been itching to get out on tour so much that they recorded an album live in a venue with no one in it. The album is called "With A Little Help From My Friends" on their new record label The Players Club/Mascot Label Group.

I talked to Steve Lukather, guitarist, singer, and one of the founders for Toto told me it's kind of the greatest hits live experience with some other tunes like their rendition of "With A Little Help From My Friends", which you can see below.

Lukather told me it's all about having fun. He said a lot of their music is showing up on classic hits radio stations and that they aren't concerned about the selling albums rat race. They enjoy reaching back into the closet for some deep-cut tunes and people are liking the walk down memory lane.

Joseph Williams told me before the record was released that they had to go somewhere and play because that is what they do. Musicians play for people, and as soon as they could hit the road they did and they were looking forward to playing everywhere.
