FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 

RINGO STARR ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL NORTH AMERICAN CITIES AND ON SALE DATES FOR HIS 10^TH ‘RINGO STARR & HIS ALL STARRS’ TOUR

Starr’s 10th All Starr Band Features Colin Hay, Billy Squier, Hamish Stuart, Edgar Winter and Gary Wright

Hollywood, CA – March 18, 2008 - Ringo Starr announces the addition of several cities to his North American ‘Ringo Starr & His All Starrs’ tour, as well as on sale dates for the majority of the shows.  This summer’s outing, Starr’s 10^th All Starr-studded tour, will include returning All Starrs (in alphabetical order): Colin Hay, Billy Squier, Hamish Stuart, and Edgar Winter, and first timers Gary Wright and Gregg Bissonette.  The All Starr tour will bring its newest chart-topping lineup to more than 25 cities in the U.S. and Canada, including New York, Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles.

No other single stage produces the hits like Ringo's All Starrs, each singularly accomplished in their own right.  All of the All Starr artists complement Starr’s musical style and share his message of peace and love.  As Ringo said in a recent interview, "My live shows are a peace-and-love fest.  That's my main promotion, really."

Starr’s latest album, Liverpool 8, was released on CD, digitally and on USB wristband on January 15 by Capitol/EMI.  His most personal release in years, Liverpool 8’s songs are a reflective journey through Ringo’s storied life and career and feature some of his greatest songwriting to date.  Co-produced and co-written with Dave Stewart, Liverpool 8’s resounding message of peace and lovewill continue to resonate with All Starr audiences across the country when Ringo hits the road this summer for his first tour since 2006.  

Since 1989, Ringo Starr’s All Starr tours have rocked sold out venues with great musicians who share Starr’s love of performing.  All of the All Starrs lend their most popular songs to Ringo’s already impressive hit list which includes such classics as "With a Little Help From My Friends," "Yellow Submarine," "Photograph" and "It Don't Come Easy."

The tour’s U.S. and Canadian dates, booked by Dave Hart at ICM, begin on June 19 at Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls, Ontario.  The tour includes a show at New York's Radio City Music Hall on June 24, and will conclude on August 2 at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre.
