Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band announce September show at Mohegan Sun Arena

Legendary Beatles drummer Ringo Starr is returning to Mohegan Sun Arena on Sept. 20 at 8 p.m. with his longtime touring act, His All Starr Band.

The lineup of the All Starr Band this year will be Steve Lukather (the guitarist and songwriter from Toto), Edgar Winter (the guitarist whose 1970s hits included “Frankenstein” and “Free Ride”), Colin Hay (the singer-songwriter who fronted the ‘80s band Men at Work), saxophonist Warren Ham (who has played with Toto and Kansas), Hamish Stuart (the guitarist/bassist/vocalist from Average White Band) and Gregg Bissonette (the drummer who has played with everyone from Maynard Ferguson to David Lee Roth to Enrique Iglesias).

Many of the musicians have toured regularly through Connecticut with other bands. Hay played the Garde Arts Center in New London earlier this month. Lukather will be with Toto when the band plays Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport on April 29.

This is the same lineup the band has had for the last few years, including when it was last in Connecticut at the Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater in Bridgeport in September 2022.

The last time Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band played at Mohegan Sun Arena was in June 2012. The band played the Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford in 2014 and 2018 and at Foxwoods in 2015.

Starr was inducted into the Mohegan Sun Walk of Fame in 2010.

One of the two surviving former Beatles, Ringo Starr had a spate of solo hits in the 1970s, including “Photograph” and “It Don’t Come Easy” and has released 20 solo albums in the past 53 years. He formed the All Starr Band as a touring project in 1989. The band performs Starr’s hits and select Beatles songs (especially the ones he originally sang lead on, like “A Little Help from My Friends” and “Octopus’ Garden”) as well as signature numbers from members of the band (among them Average White Band’s “Cut the Cake,” Toto’s “Rosanna” and Men at Work’s “Who Can It Be Now?”).

The Mohegan Sun date was announced Thursday as part of a run of nine cities in September. The band is also touring in May/June but not in Connecticut.

Tickets for the show go on sale April 26 at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster, then through the Mohegan Sun box office starting April 27. More details on the tour are at ringostarr.com.
