RINGO STARR & HIS ALL STARR BAND

Ringo Starr will be out with his All Starr Band — Gregg Bissonette, Steve Lukather, Edgar Winter, Colin Hay, Hamish Stuart, and Warren Ham — in the spring of 2024. “I’ve always said I’m my happiest when I’m playing with great musicians – and this band is one of the very best,” says Ringo. “But even so, sometime during and just after every tour I think ok that’s it – I’m going to stop touring. My family don’t believe me anymore and so it comes as no surprise to them that once again, I’m taking the All Starr Band back on the road! We’ll be doing 12 shows in May and June, going back to Mexico – which I love – and we’ll be doing a bit of a residency in Las Vegas at the Venetian. See you out there and until then I send you peace and love.”
