Ringo Starr—excuse me, Sir Ringo Starr—will bring his All-Starr Band to the United States from a 20-date outing later this year. The run will kick off at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tulsa, OK, on September 1st before wrapping up at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on September 27th.
For the past 29 years, the All-Starr Band has found the former Beatles drummer and current Commander of the Order of the British Empire backed by a rotating cast of characters. The forthcoming incarnation of the group will feature vocalist/guitarist Colin Hay (Men at Work), guitarist Steve Lukather (Toto), vocalist/keyboardist Gregg Rolie (Santana, Journey), saxophonist Warren Ham (Toto, Bloodrock), and drummer Gregg Bissonette (Toto, Santana), as well as its newest addition, bassist/vocalist Graham Gouldman (10cc).
According to Rolling Stone, the All-Star Band will stick to their longtime format of performing hits from each member’s respective bands, which usually includes a handful of Beatles classics. Ringo also released his 19th solo album, Give More Love, in September, so songs from that record may appear during the shows.
As previously, Ringo was finally knighted by Queen Elizabeth II earlier this week. Tickets for his U.S. dates will go on sale in the coming weeks.
