Ringo Starr is gearing up to release a new country album, Look Up, in January 2025, but that doesn’t mean that the legendary Beatles drummer has any intention to stop playing with his All Starr Band. Ringo has just announced a U.S. tour with the All Starrs that will take place in June 2025.

So far, 10 dates of the trek have been revealed. The tour kicks off on June 12 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and will works its way to the Southeastern U.S., winding down on June 25 in Charlotte, North Carolina. The road trip will include concerts at the famed Radio City Music Hall in New York City, The Mann in Philadelphia, and Wolftrap in Vienna, Virginia. The outing also will visit venues in three Florida cities, as well as in Greensboro, North Carolina, and Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
The All Starr Band’s lineup will remain that same as the 2024 incarnation of the group. Joining Starr will be Toto guitarist Steve Lukather, Men at Work frontman Colin Hay, Average White Band bassist/guitarist Hamish Stuart, multi-instrumentalist Warren Ham, drummer Gregg Bissonette, and keyboardist Buck Johnson.
“I am happy to announce these new All Starr shows in June,” Ringo said in a statement. “I absolutely love playing live and I love this band. 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 new shows are expected to go on sale soon. Visit RingoStarr.com for more information. Fans who want to purchase tickets early may want to check StubHub.

More About Look Up
As previously reported, Look Up features Starr collaborating with Burnett, who produced the album and wrote or co-wrote nine of its 11 tracks. Ringo co-wrote one song on the album with his longtime studio engineer Bruce Sugar, “Thankful.” The track, which is a duet with acclaimed country/bluegrass artist Alison Krauss, was released as an advance single from Look Up.
Besides Krauss, the album features several other guest artists, including Strings, Tuttle, Lucius, and Larkin Poe. Starr’s brother-in-law, Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh, also contributed to the record.
