Beatlemania is set to sweep through Philadelphia once again as Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band gear up to rock the TD Pavilion at the Mann come September. The legendary drummer, riding high on the enduring legacy of The Beatles, will bring his fall tour to Philly on Sept. 24, Patch reported.

But before Starr pounds the skins in the City of Brotherly Love, he's set to drop a new EP dubbed "Crooked Boy" on April 20 in celebration of Record Store Day. Garnering buzz with the early release of its single "February Sky," the digital edition will be available April 26. Starr, who is to embark on a spring run starting May 22 in Vegas, will also plant his star-studded flag in Washington, D.C., and round out the fall with a finale at New York City's Radio City Music Hall on Sept. 25, Ultimate Classic Rock detailed.

Enthusiasts and fans alike can snag tickets during a presale starting at 10 a.m. on April 24. For those playing the waiting game, general sales commence on April 26 at 10 a.m., PennLive has revealed. The performance promises to be nostalgic and electrifying, with Starr joined by a cadre of accomplished musicians, including Toto's Steve Lukather, saxophonist Edgar Winter, Men at Work frontman Colin Hay, sax player Warren Ham, Average White Band's Hamish Stuart, and drummer Gregg Bissonette.

Sharing the spotlight, Paul McCartney stands alongside Starr as the remaining Beatles, keeping alive the spirit of the four lads from Liverpool. The world lost John Lennon to murder in 1980 and George Harrison to cancer in 2001, but their music continues to echo through Starr's ongoing work and tours. As Philly gears up for a night of timeless hits and fresh tunes, the city is prepping for an echo back to the age of British Invasion, with a twist of contemporary flair.
