Get ready to party All Night Long – music icon Lionel Richie is returning to the Yorkshire coast next summer.
The global superstar will bring his sensational live show to Scarborough Open Air Theatre on Saturday June 12.
Tickets go on sale via www.scarboroughopenairtheatre.com at 8am on Friday October 30.
This will be the second time Lionel has headlined Scarborough Open Air Theatre following his sold-out show there in 2018. He was due to play the stunning Yorkshire coast venue again this summer only for the show to be rescheduled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Lionel said: “I was really excited to be playing at Scarborough Open Air Theatre this summer as I enjoyed a truly wonderful night there in 2018.
“I was very sad that, like so many things, the show had to be delayed but obviously, everyone’s health and safety comes first. I’m now looking forward to it even more and know we’ll all have such an incredible night of partying together.”
Performing hits from his extensive and much-loved repertoire, all the way from his days with the Commodores to the present day, Lionel’s shows are world renowned for their party atmosphere.
Fans will be able to enjoy timeless mega-hits and sing along to classics such as Three Times A Lady, Truly, Dancing on the Ceiling, Say You Say Me, Hello and All Night Long.
Lionel has sold more than 125 million albums worldwide and is also the proud recipient of an Oscar®, a Golden Globe® and four Grammy Awards®. He recently received the Ivor Novello PRS for Music Special International Award.
In recent years, he headlined massive festivals including Glastonbury – drawing the festival’s biggest crowd ever with more than 200,000 attendees.
Last year, he took fans on a spectacular musical journey with new album – Live from Las Vegas – which hit top spot on the Billboard Artist 100 chart.
