Ringo Starr has announced the first batch of dates for the North American summer tour supporting his 15th and latest album, Y Not, and, once again, he’ll be joined by his All-Starr Band. The 11th rendition of the outfit features rhythm guitarist Wally Palmar of The Romantics, guitarist Rick Derringer, Edgar Winter and Gary Wright on keyboards, Mr. Mister frontman Richard Page on bass, and Gregg Bissonette on drums. He may also have God, whom he has recently discovered, on his side — so this tour is sure to be a can’t-miss.

The tour will kick off with two dates in Niagara Falls in late June. Ringo and the crew will stay for a couple weeks in the Northeast (including Ringo’s birthday gig at the Radio City Music Hall!) before heading south and hitting the Hard Rock Live arena in Hollywood, Florida. They’ll cross over and hit up a couple midwest and westcoast spots, including the tour finale at the Greek Theatre in L.A. We’d assume there will be at the very least an Oregon date and a Northern California date to fill in that week-long gap at the beginning of August.

The dates are posted on Ringo’s official site and below. Don’t be discouraged if the former Beatle doesn’t hit your town, as more dates will be announced. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster.

In other Ringo news (I know, exciting!), as Gather.com reported last week, the 2,401st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame will belong to Mr. Starr. He will be the third Beatle to receive the honor individually, after bandmates John Lennon and George Harrison (Don’t worry, Macca will get one). The star will be unveiled Monday, February 8th at 7 p.m., and Ringo will be present, as will some young musicians from the Los Angeles Unified School District All District Marching Band, there to help present the award.
