According to Ponti, the setlist will include classic Beatles hits alongside fan favorites from the drummer’s solo catalog, featuring a rotating lineup of star musicians.
In addition to the Starr show, Ponti highlighted several other upcoming concerts that will showcase both local talent and national acts. Among those, the indie‑pop duo The Lanterns is set to play a benefit show on July 22 at the Maine Civic Center, while the celebrated folk singer Jill Carter will headline a summer tour stop at the North End Music Hall on August 10.
“We’ve really curated a mix that celebrates Maine’s diverse musical heritage while bringing in acts that have national acclaim,” Ponti said. “It’s all about creating experiences that resonate with the community and keep the spirit of live music alive.”
For fans eager to attend the Ringo Starr concert, tickets are being sold at a rate of $75 for general admission and $120 for VIP packages, which include a meet‑and‑greet opportunity and a collectible program.
