Ringo Starr has announced details about the 2025 installment of his annual “Peace and Love” birthday celebration. The event will be held on Monday, July 7. The famous Beatles drummer will be turning 85 that day.
As has become tradition, Starr is asking fans across the globe to say or think about “peace and love” at noon local time on July 7, wherever they are in the world. He also encourages people to post messages about peace and love on their social media pages that day.
The invite-only gathering will take place at an unannounced location in the Los Angeles area. That being said, fans around the world will be able to watch the celebration, as it will be streamed live via Ringo’s social media pages.
Starr’s “Peace and Love” birthday bashes generally have featured a variety of guest performers and celebrity attendees, and 2025 will be no exception.
Starting at 11:20 a.m. PT, a series of musical tributes will be presented in honor of Ringo. This will be followed by Starr leading those attending the gathering, and everyone watching the livestream, in a “Peace and Love” chant at noon PT. The festivities likely also will include a large birthday cake.
Ringo’s fans around the world also will be hosting “Peace and Love” gatherings marking Starr’s birthday. More than 34 global celebrations have been confirmed so far. The full list of events will be shared posted on Ringo’s Facebook page.
