Starring Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band In 2013

Todd Rundgren, Gregg Rolie (Santana & Journey), Steve Lukather (Toto), Richard Page (Mr. Mister), Mark Rivera and Gregg Bissonette had so much fun touring with Ringo Starr this summer that they’ve signed on for another round of All Starr Band dates in early 2013.

The next excursion will take Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band to New Zealand, Australia and Japan. Although Page, Rivera and Bissonette are veterans to the band, the North American summer tour was the first All Starr trek for Lukather and Rollie.

“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!”
