The 10-date run opens September 24 in Easton, Pennsylvania and closes October 7 in Albany, New York.

Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band have announced 10 fall 2026 tour dates, picking up where a late-spring run left off. The new shows begin September 24 in Easton, Pennsylvania and wind through the Northeast before concluding October 7 in Albany, New York. The tour continues to support Long Long Road, Starr's country LP released in April 2026.

Spring Run Sets the Stage for Fall Dates

The fall announcement comes on the heels of a spring tour that wrapped in late June. Starr pointed to the Greek Theatre as the final stop of that run and spoke warmly about the experience in a press release. “We just finished a spring tour which ended at the Greek,” he said. “It was all so great — the audiences were so loving, and I just love playing with this band.”

Starr added a direct message to fans: “I'm really looking forward to these fall shows. See you in September — Peace and love, Ringo.”

The 2026 All Starr Band Lineup

The current edition of the All Starr Band is a well-stocked roster of rock and pop veterans. Guitarists Steve Lukather and Colin Hay anchor the front line alongside saxophonist Warren Ham, bassist Hamish Stuart, drummer Gregg Bissonette and keyboardist Buck Johnson.

Lukather, best known as the longtime Toto guitarist, and Hay, the voice behind Men at Work, are both seasoned All Starr veterans. The format Starr pioneered in 1989 gives each bandmember a spotlight moment, turning the show into something closer to a traveling revue than a conventional solo tour.

Long Long Road Drives the Tour

The fall dates continue to support Long Long Road, the country-flavored album Starr released in April 2026. The record represents a notable stylistic turn for the former Beatle, leaning into Americana and country textures rather than the pop-rock territory he has occupied for much of his solo career.

Starr has been one of the more consistently active classic rock figures on the touring circuit in recent years, regularly assembling new versions of the All Starr Band and hitting the road. The fall 2026 run keeps that momentum going through the early weeks of October.

The take

The All Starr Band concept has proven one of the more durable formats in classic rock touring since Starr launched it in 1989. The rotating cast of recognizable names gives each show a variety-show energy that a conventional solo tour rarely achieves, and it has allowed Starr to keep drawing audiences even as the Beatles catalog recedes further into history. The current lineup is particularly strong on guitar firepower: Lukather is one of the most technically accomplished players of his generation, and Hay brings genuine songwriting credibility alongside his fretwork. The Northeastern routing of the fall leg is a smart commercial choice; that corridor from Boston to Washington consistently supports legacy rock acts at mid-size theaters and sheds, and venues like Forest Hills Stadium in Queens have become prestige stops for artists who want an outdoor feel without the logistical weight of a stadium show. The country direction of Long Long Road is worth watching on the road. Starr has always been an eclectic solo artist, but leaning into Americana puts him in conversation with a genre that has shown real appetite for classic rock crossovers in recent years. Whether the live show leans heavily into the new material or treats it as a complement to the deeper catalog will shape how the fall run is received.

Why it matters

For classic rock fans in the Northeast, this fall run is a rare chance to see a founding Beatle in relatively intimate rooms. Forest Hills Stadium and Bethel Woods carry their own historical weight as concert venues, adding a layer of resonance to shows that already trade on rock history. The All Starr format also means ticket buyers are effectively getting a multi-act bill for the price of one, which has helped Starr maintain strong demand well into his eighties.

What's next

The fall leg opens September 24 in Easton, Pennsylvania and runs through October 7 in Albany, New York. Tickets and additional information are expected to be available through the venues listed on the tour announcement.
