Ringo Starr is ready to tour again, following a successful 2001 tour. He will kick it off at Casino Rama in Rama, Ontario, just outside of Toronto, on July 24.

Casino Rama is where he started and rehearsed for his tour in 2001. He plans on rehearsing there again this year for about two weeks prior to the launch.

His band will feature Sheila E. on drums, former Babys/Bad English frontman John Waite on bass and vocals, former Men At Work frontman Colin Hay on guitar and vocals, former Ace/Squeeze/Mike + the Mechanics singer-keyboardist Paul Carrack, and bandleader Mark Rivera on saxophone and other instruments.

“Ringo Rama,” his new album, will be released March 25.
