Throughout his career he has received nine GRAMMY® Awards and has twice been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — first as a Beatle and then as solo artist. Between 1970 and 2025, Ringo has released 21 solo studio records.

He has acted in over 15 films, received an Academy Award®, and has been nominated as an actor for an Emmy®. Ringo has published 8 books; had a stint as a male fashion model, and that same year went behind the lens as the photographer for some Foo Fighters PR photos. Ringo is also a visual artist and has had numerous exhibitions of his work and his “Peace Sculpture” is on permanent display in the Beverly Hills Park. In 2008 Ringo began dedicating his July 7 birthday to promoting Peace and Love and the movement has grown to include events all over the planet and into the stars with support from NASA. In 2018, Ringo was knighted and in 2019 he celebrated 35 years of touring with his All Starr Bands. In 2022 Ringo received an honorary degree as a Doctor of Music from Berklee College of Music and earlier he was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame with the Joe Chambers Musicians Legacy Award.

The current roster of the All Starr Band features Steve Lukather, Colin Hay, Warren Ham, Hamish Stuart, and Gregg Bissonette, as well as Buck Johnson on keyboards.

VERY SPECIAL GUEST

Mike Campbell and The Dirty Knobs

Mike Campbell was a member, architect and co-captain of the Heartbreakers, a band he co-founded with Tom Petty.

The Heartbreakers’ lead guitarist, Campbell co-wrote many of the Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers hits and co-produced many of their albums – in addition to penning songs for Don Henley, Bob Dylan, and Stevie Nicks. In 2020, Campbell released Wreckless Abandon, the first album by The Dirty Knobs. Their most recent album Vagabonds, Virgins & Misfits was released in 2024. In additional to Campbell, The Dirty Knobs features fellow Heartbreaker Steve Ferrone on drums, Chris Holt on guitar and Lance Morrison on bass. Campbell’s critically acclaimed memoir Heartbreaker was released in March and debuted on the New York Times Best Seller List.

City of Omaha Celebrates America

“This event has been a highlight for Omaha for many years now. It’s amazing to watch the entire Omaha community come together to celebrate America, listen to national bands and watch one of the best fireworks shows in the region.”

— Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert
