If this were the 20th annual tour, there would be a nice little parody that could be written, but instead fans will have to settle for "Iteration 9."

Ringo Starr's 9th Annual All Starr tour will kick off June 14 at Toronto, Ontario's Casino Rama, and travel along both coasts throughout June and July before finishing up at New York City's Radio City Music Hall. The show, which is essentially a rock and roll revue, will feature the former Beatle along with singer Richard Marx, guitarist Billy Squier and Rod Argent of the Zombies. The band will also be comprised of Edgar Winter, Sheila E, Mark Rivera and Mark Hudson.

As in tour's past, the band's repertoire will consist of the songs from the back catalogs of each individual All Starr band member.
