Ahead of his 85th birthday, Ringo Starr will return to stages across the U.S. in spring 2025 for a tour with his All Starr Band. The run of ten June concerts will follow the release of the Beatles drummer’s country album, Look Up, on January 10th [ticketing information].
Ringo, who was forced to cancel the end of his 2024 tour due to illness, will get back in action on June 12th in Bridgeport, CT for a show at Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater followed by a trip to New York’s famed Radio City Music Hall the next night. Traveling down the East Coast, Ringo and his All Starr Band will make stops in Philadelphia (6/15), Vienna, VA (6/17), and Greensboro, NC (6/18). The tour will wind down with a trio of Florida shows in Hollywood (6/20), Clearwater (6/21), and St. Augustine (6/22) before wrapping with concerts in Tuscaloosa, AL (6/24) and finally Charlotte (6/25).
For this tour, Ringo will reconvene his long-standing All Starr Band lineup which features Steve Lukather (Toto), Colin Hay (Men At Work), Hamish Stuart (Average White Band), Gregg Bissonette (David Lee Roth), and Buck Johnson (Aerosmith).
“I absolutely love playing live and I love this band,” Ringo said. “It’s been so great playing with these guys, I just want to keep this lineup going and that’s why I haven’t changed the All Starrs in a while. So here we go again, and we look forward to seeing you on the road this Spring.”

Tickets for the 2025 Ringo Starr tour dates will go on sale to the general public Friday, December 13th at 10 a.m. ET via Ticketmaster. Prior to the spring tour, Ringo will celebrate the release of Look Up with a pair of special Ringo Starr & Friends shows at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on January 14th and 15th. Tickets for those shows are hard to come by, but you can try the secondary market.
Look Up will mark Ringo’s first country album in over 50 years. The drummer had plenty of Starr power for the nine-track release, with guest spots by Billy Strings, Larkin Poe, Lucius, Molly Tuttle, and Alison Krauss. Famed producer T Bone Burnett played an integral part in the album’s creation, co-writing the tracks after Ringo asked him to pen just one song two years ago.
“I’ve always loved country music,” Ringo said at the time. “And when I asked T Bone to write me a song, I didn’t even think at the time that it would be a country song – but of course it was, and it was so beautiful. I had been making EPs at the time and so I thought we would do a country EP -but when he brought me nine songs I knew we had to make an album! And I am so glad we did. I want to thank, and send Peace & Love, to T Bone and all the great musicians who helped make this record. It was a joy making it and I hope it is a joy to listen to.”
