Starr was set to headline the venue in 2008, but due to an equipment breakdown on the tour, the date was cancelled. Starr is the first Beatle to play the legendary site. For this show His All Starr Band will include: Rick Derringer, Richard Page (Mister Mister), Wally Palmer (The Romantics), Edgar Winter and Gary Wright.
