The Drive Tucson is proud to announce Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band to the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall on June 3. A Beatle stepping onto a Tucson stage, in a venue named after one of Arizona’s own legends. That’s real music history meeting local music history in the same room.
Ringo’s sound has been part of Tucson’s backdrop for decades...from late-night vinyl at dorm rooms on Speedway, to the jukeboxes that used to hum along 4th Avenue, to every Roadie who still knows exactly where they were the first time they heard those unmistakable drum fills. His music has lived in this town longer than most new buildings in the skyline.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, December 5… but we’ve got them all week long. Keep listening. A chance to see a Beatle in the Old Pueblo is pretty dang special, and we’re proud to bring this one home.
