Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band have announced a North American tour scheduled for fall 2026. The tour is set to span late September through early October, with performances planned across various venues including stadiums, arenas, theaters, and music halls.
Four of the tour dates are scheduled in the New York and New Jersey area. These include a performance on September 25 at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, NY, followed by a show on September 27 at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ. Starr will then play Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, NY, on October 1, and conclude the regional dates at the Palace Theatre in Albany, NY, on October 7.
Notably, Starr's concert at Forest Hills Stadium marks his return to the venue for the first time since performing there with The Beatles in 1964 and 1965.
All-Starr Band Members
The touring lineup features a collection of accomplished musicians. Joining the 86-year-old Starr are Colin Hay of Men at Work, Buck Johnson of Aerosmith, Hamish Stuart of Average White Band, and Steve Lukather and Warren Ham of Toto. Gregg Bissonette will also be on drums, having previously performed with artists such as Spinal Tap and The David Lee Roth Band.
Setlist Highlights
Based on recent performances, the tour's setlist is expected to include a mix of Beatles classics, Ringo Starr solo hits, cover songs, and tracks from the respective bands of the All-Starr members. Songs performed by the band in June 2026 included Beatles tracks like "Yellow Submarine" and "With a Little Help From My Friends," Starr's solo songs "Photograph" and "It Don't Come Easy," and covers such as Toto's "Africa" and "Hold The Line," Men at Work's "Down Under," and Average White Band's "Cut the Cake."
One song from Starr's 2026 album "Long Long Road," the track "Choose Love," has been featured in recent setlists. However, no songs from his duet with Paul McCartney, "Home To Us," were performed.
