Get ready, Beatles fans — Ringo & Friends at The Ryman is coming to CBS, and it’s bringing a whole lot of country flair, rock history, and star-studded moments with it. The two-hour special, airing Monday, March 10 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, features highlights from Ringo Starr’s unforgettable concerts held earlier this year at Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium.

These shows weren’t just about nostalgia — they marked the live debut of Look Up, Ringo’s latest solo album infused with country roots. Backed by a dream team of musicians, Ringo mixed fresh tracks with country-tinged takes on Beatles classics and solo favorites, proving once again that his musical spirit is as adventurous as ever.

And he wasn’t alone.

In one standout preview clip, Sheryl Crow joins Ringo for a joyous duet of his 1971 hit “It Don’t Come Easy,” supported by Mickey Guyton and Molly Tuttle’s warm harmonies. Jack White takes things up a notch with a fiery rendition of “Don’t Pass Me By,” while Billy Strings reimagines “Honey Don’t” with a dazzling bluegrass twist.

The big finale? A moving group performance of “With a Little Help from My Friends” that brings everyone onstage for a moment of pure, shared joy. With voices like Emmylou Harris, Jamey Johnson, Brenda Lee, Rodney Crowell, Sarah Jarosz, Larkin Poe, and The War and Treaty all contributing, it’s a celebration of friendship, legacy, and timeless music.

But the special isn’t just about the songs. In between the performances, Ringo reflects on his deep love for country music, the role it played in shaping The Beatles, and how it continues to inspire his work. His guests also share stories about Ringo’s influence and what it means to share the stage with a true rock and roll legend.

Produced by the iconic T Bone Burnett (who also worked on Look Up), the special is full of warmth, soul, and heart. It’ll stream on Paramount+ after the CBS broadcast — so whether you catch it live or later, make sure you don’t miss it.

And if the Ryman shows left you wanting more, you’re in luck. Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band are hitting the road again in 2025. Their tour kicks off on June 12 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and wraps up its first leg on June 25 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Later this year, Ringo will also perform at the Bourbon & Beyond Festival on September 13 and return to Las Vegas for a special residency at The Venetian from September 17–27.

Tickets for the Vegas shows go on sale Friday, March 7 — and fans can find early access and resale options now through StubHub.

One moment from the Ryman concerts captured it all: Ringo behind the drums, peace sign in the air, as “Yellow Submarine” rolled through the room. Emmylou Harris and Sheryl Crow’s voices danced through the air, Jack White’s electric energy tore through the stage, and the crowd swayed together in one harmonious wave. When the final note rang out, the standing ovation said it all: pure magic.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just discovering the charm of Ringo’s music, 2025 is shaping up to be a year to celebrate the legend — with a little help from his very talented friends.
