Even in death, all of the Beatles have remained relevant since their 1970 split, but Ringo Starr especially has been having a bit of a year, with the release of Look Up, his second country album (a genre he has loved and been inspired by since his days with Rory Storm and the Hurricanes).

It was also revealed this year that he’s excited to be portrayed by Barry Keoghan in Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles biopic tetralogy, which may have been the only understandable casting choice.

On the heels of his 85th birthday, Ringo and his ever-tight All-Starr Band return to Coachman Park this weekend with Aerosmith’s Buck Johnson now on keyboards, and a setlist featuring the infamous, anti-drug “No-No Song,” which came out at the height of Ringo’s drug use in the ‘70s.

Tickets to see Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band play BayCare Sound in Clearwater on Saturday, June 21 are still available and start at $53.50.

CORRECTION 06/19/25 12:47 p.m. Updated because ‘Look Up’ is Ringo’s second country album.
