Few concert events are as fun as an evening featuring Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band. Indeed, as a member of the greatest and most influential band of all time, former Beatles drummer/vocalist Starr elevates the proceedings with a troupe that features a top-tier lineup of musical giants who bring their own talents to the show.

At a dazzling sold-out concert staged at the Findlay Toyota Center in Prescott Valley, AZ on May 31, 2026, Starr and his six-man band delivered a night of delightful nostalgia that was fueled by nearly two dozen bona fide radio favorites.

Opening with "Matchbox" (a song penned by Carl Perkins in the 1950s, and recorded by the Beatles in 1964), Starr, 85, sounded in stellar form vocally as he danced and moved to the music; lead guitarist Steve Lukather unleashed some fiery fret work. The pace and magic of the concert continued with the followup cut "It Don't Come Easy," an enduring 1971 classic rock gem co-written by Starr and George Harrison, proving to be one of the more poignant songs of the night.

After those two tracks featuring Starr on lead vocals, the night featured a flow where other band members would sing hits associated with their careers too. For example, Lukather was featured on a trio of winning Toto classics ("Rosanna," "Hold The Line" and the sumptuous "Africa"), while Men at Work lead singer Colin Hay sang three of that band's best-known hits ("Down Under," "Overkill," and "Who Can It Be Now?") and Average White Band singer-guitarist-bassist Hamish Stuart sang a trio of numbers too (including the funky "Pick Up the Pieces").

But there is little doubt the main attraction for those pinching themselves that the 2026 Spring Tour had arrived in this relatively little known mountain town in Central Arizona was the chance to hear Fab Four classics sung by a Beatle. The rollicking "Boys" was bolstered by Warren Ham's solid harmonica blasts. "Yellow Submarine" was an infectious sing-along and genuinely joyful. Rousing performances of "Octopus's Garden," "I Wanna Be Your Main," "Act Naturally" and the night-ending "With A Little Help From My Friends" were gold. Starr, his band and everyone in the crowd seemed thrilled at every turn.

Additionally, Starr showcased gems from his solo career including the confessional "I'm the Greatest" (a song written by John Lennon for Starr), catchy "No No Song," timeless "Photograph" and even "Choose Love" — the latter from his recently-issued country music album Long Long Road.
If you have a chance to catch Starr and company in concert this month, don't miss it.
