All of your dreams will come true this December as Totally Toto Africa comes Birmingham! Call it an early Christmas treat…

Originally announced for Bristol venue The Exchange, the charity-funding night is now going on tour and will land at The Mill in Digbeth on Saturday December 1, where revellers will be able to hear Toto’s hit ‘Africa’ on loop between 11pm-3am.

Even if you can’t attend – or the thought of hearing the same song on loop all night drives you mad – you can still donate the equivalent ticket price, or more, through the ticket link.

 

Totally Toto Africa is raising money for Temwa, a Bristol-based charity which looks to aid the development of self-sufficient communities in remote rural areas of northern Malawi.

‘Africa’ is Toto’s most popular song by far and still receives millions of streams each year. Toto band member Steve Lukather had this to say about Totally Toto Africa going on tour…

Temwa are a charity committed to reducing poverty in remote communities. By enjoying and donating at this event you are supporting them in their great work. To read more about the charity follow the link here: www.temwa.org.
