Among the noteworthy people confirmed to attend the gathering alongside Starr and his wife, Barbara, are Joe Walsh, Stephen Stills, ex-Guns N’ Roses drummer Matt Sorum, Strokes guitarist Nick Valensi (Valensi played guitar on all four tracks of Starr’s latest EP, Crooked Boy), Diane Warren, Fred Armisen, Ed Begley Jr., Don Was, Ben Harper, and All Starr Band drummer Gregg Bissonette.
The traditional focal point of Ringo’s annual celebration is the collective exclamation of “peace and love” exactly at noon. Starr always asks fans around the world to either declare or think “peace and love” wherever they are at noon local time on July 7.
Prior to the “peace and love” declaration, several musicians, including Harper, Bissonnette, Was, Greg Leisz, Gabe Witcher, Willie Watson, and Steve Dudas, will play a set showcasing Ringo’s music in honor of his birthday.
The past four annual birthday celebrations were held at Beverly Gardens Park in the L.A. suburb of Beverly Hills, California. The park is the site of Starr’s “Peace and Love” sculpture. The location of this year’s event hasn’t been announced.
“OK, peace and love, here we go again!” said Ringo in a video message. “Thanks for joining me on my birthday. I am so grateful to you all for helping me promote peace and love. … I gotta thank all the fans, peace and love. Just join me in your mind, or on the bus, wherever you are at noon on the 7th of the 7th, just go ‘peace and love.’”
In addition, “peace and love” celebrations are scheduled for dozens of cities around the world, while NASA will transmit a message into the universe.
In addition, Starbucks will promote Ringo’s “peace and love” campaign by playing a special playlist in thousands of locations in U.S. and Canada, plus in select cities in South America, Europe, and Asia.
Ringo and his All Starr Band wrapped up a North American spring tour in early June. The group will hit the road again this fall. Those shows are mapped out from a September 12 performance in Omaha, Nebraska, through a September 25 concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York.
Tickets for Ringo and the All Starr Band’s shows are available now... H E R E .
