Ringo Starr may not have shared as much acclaim in his solo career as his former bandmates, yet his goofy sense of humour and amicable charm is sure to reignite your grandmother’s Beatlemania as he returns to our shores early next year.

With a little help from his friends, the All Starr Band, featuring Steve Lukather from Toto, Richard Page from Mr. Mister, Todd Rundgren, Mark Rivera, Gregg Rolie from Santana, and Journey drummer Gregg Bissonette.

The night promises classic Ringo hits spanning from his time with The Beatles, all the way up to his latest solo release, the bluntly titled Ringo 2012. Fans can also expect select cuts from members of the All Starr’s other projects, such as Mr. Mister’s ‘Broken Wings’ and blues standard, ‘Black Magic Woman’.

Today Ringo Starr announced that he his All Starr Band will tour the Pacific Rim this winter with select dates in New Zealand, Australia and Japan.

‘The tour this summer was just GREAT – I love playing with this band and I can’t wait to get back out and play with them again,” Ringo said. “I am looking forward to revisiting Japan with the All Starrs and of course New Zealand and Australia. Peace & Love!”

The tour is being produced by Dave Hart and as always fans can expect to hear a jukebox worth of hits. Ringo classic’s such as “It Don’t Come Easy”, “Photograph”, “Little Help From My Friends”, “Yellow Submarine” and “Wings”, from Starr’s recently released 17th solo record, Ringo 2012 (Hip-O/Ume). All Starr’s hits include “Rosanna,” “Broken Wings,” “Hello It’s Me,” “Black Magic Woman.”
