If yesterday's Ghost announcement was too spooky for you, then Ruth Eckerd Hall has another one to make you smile.

Today, the venue announced that Toto — cue "Africa" (and not the Weezer version) — will play Clearwater on October 24.

The show is part of the Grammy-winning outfit's 40th anniversary tour, which includes four other Florida dates (October 26 at Ft. Myers' Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall, October 27 at Melbourne's King Cener for the Performing Arts. October 28 at the Pompano Beach Amphitheatre and October 30 at Hard Rock Live in Orlando).

Tickets for the Clearwater show start at $43.25 and go on sale at noon Friday, June 15.
