Ringo Starr's 2026 Tour
Ringo Starr and All-Starr Band Unveil Extensive 2026 North American Fall Tour Dates
Key Points
Ringo Starr will perform Oct. 4 at the Toyota Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford, CT—his first Oakdale appearance since 2018.
A Sept. 25 show is slated for Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, NY.
Sept. 28 is planned for The Anthem in Washington, D.C., expanding the tour into the nation’s capital.
Sept. 30 brings a stop at Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway, marking another high-profile East Coast venue on the run.
Ringo Starr is hitting the road again. The former Beatles drummer has announced a 10-date North American fall tour with his All-Starr Band, kicking off September 24 in Easton, Pennsylvania and wrapping October 7 in Albany, New York, according to Pollstar.
The run supports his recent album Long Long Road and adds a cluster of new Northeast and East Coast stops. One highlight: a October 1 show at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens — the first Beatles-era stadium date there since 1964, Hometown News Now reported.
Ten Dates, Ten Iconic East Coast Venues
The tour runs just two weeks but packs in some of the East Coast's most storied rooms. September 25 lands at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, NY — the site of the original Woodstock. September 28 moves to The Anthem in Washington, D.C. September 30 brings a stop at MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston, Head Top Topics noted.
October 4 puts Starr at Toyota Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford, Connecticut — his first appearance there since 2018. The tour closes October 7 at the Palace Theatre in Albany. General ticket sales for the Albany show open July 10, CBS6 Albany reported.
All-Starr Band Lineup Stays Intact for 2026
Starr's All-Starr Band has rotated musicians since its 1989 debut. For this run, the lineup stays the same as recent tours. It includes Steve Lukather of Toto, Colin Hay of Men at Work, Hamish Stuart, Warren Ham, drummer Gregg Bissonette, and keyboardist Buck Johnson, Times Union confirmed.
Each band member takes a turn at the mic to perform their own hits. That format turns the show into a mini-festival of classic rock. Starr curates the set while staying at the drum kit — the show's anchor from start to finish.
Beatles Songs, Solo Hits, and a Peace Message
Setlists typically mix Beatles classics — Yellow Submarine, With a Little Help from My Friends — with Starr's solo catalog. The shows draw fans across generations. That cross-era appeal helps fill large venues like Forest Hills Stadium, which seats thousands outdoors in Queens.
Starr also marks his birthday each year with a global Peace and Love message at noon across time zones. He turns 86 in July 2026. The tradition reflects the unifying spirit he has carried since the Beatles era — and it keeps his public profile active between albums and tours.
How to Get Tickets for the Fall Run
Tickets are available through Ticketmaster and Starr's official website. Each venue sets its own presale and on-sale dates, so fans should check locally. The Albany Palace Theatre general on-sale opens July 10, CBS6 Albany reported. Other cities will follow similar timelines in the weeks ahead.
The full 10-date schedule spans September 24 in Easton, PA through October 7 in Albany, NY. Stops include Bethel, Holmdel, Washington D.C., Queens, Boston, Wallingford, Portland, and Lancaster. Pollstar listed all dates in its official announcement of the tour.
