Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band kick off their Fall tour tomorrow, which will bring them to some of Ringo’s favorite venues including Humphreys in San Diego on Saturday, September 7th then onto The Greek in Los Angeles Sunday, September 8. The tour also takes them back to Fallsview Casino on September 22nd, overlooking Niagara Falls, where he has launched several tours (2010, 2012) and concludes at Radio City Music Hall on September 25, where he has performed 8 times with the All Starrs between 1992-2018, including of course July 7, 2010 where Ringo and the All Starr’s were joined by two surprise guests, Paul McCartney and Joe Walsh, in celebration of Ringo’s 70th birthday.
The All Starr Band lineup will be the same as it was in the Spring and features Steve Lukather, Colin Hay, Warren Ham, Hamish Stuart, Gregg Bissonette as well as Buck Johnson on keyboards, who previously filled in for Edgar Winter and will rejoin the group for these shows.
“We are on tour on Saturday!,” Ringo shared in a video update from the band’s rehearsals. He also revealed that the kit he will be playing on this tour is a replica of the drums he used on the Ed Sullivan show. “I had the small kit because I wanted to be seen. But then I had the great idea and said why don’t you give me a rostrum, and they built the rostrum and I’m up there having a great time.”
