Trying to keep it together, because how is this real?!

Ringo Starr. An actual Beatle. Is coming to Maine. Not Boston. Not New York.

Portland, Maine. He once performed in Bangor, but now, it's Portland's turn! 

Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band are bringing their tour to Portland’s Cross Insurance Arena. When?  

Saturday, October 3, and I don't know about you, but I'm absolutely freaking out. 

This isn't just another concert announcement. This is a piece of music history coming to Portland. Maine.

Think about it. The Beatles changed music forever, and now one of the band's legendary members is finally performing in Portland!

That's the kind of sentence I never thought I'd get to write. 

Check out Ringo Starr's tour update via YouTube below! 

And he's not coming alone. His All Starr Band features musicians from bands like Toto, Men at Work, Average White Band, Aerosmith, and more.

So if you somehow weren't already freaking out enough, this lineup is absolutely stacked. 

The show starts at 7:30 p.m., and if I had to guess, tickets are probably going to disappear faster than you can say, "Yeah, yeah, yeah." 

General ticket sales begin Friday, July 10 at 10 a.m., with a venue presale already available through Cross Insurance Arena.
