Posted by Larita Shotwell on Thursday, July 11, 2024

The legendary Lionel Richie will return to the UK in 2016, performing at Weston Homes Community Stadium, Colchester this Saturday!

Performing ‘All The Hits’ from his extensive and much loved repertoire spanning decades, all the way from the Commodores to the present day. 

Lionel’s shows are world renowned for their party atmosphere and audiences will be able to join Lionel in singing along to classics such as ‘Hello’, ‘Easy’, ‘Dancing on the Ceiling’, ‘Say You Say Me’ and ‘All Night Long’. 

Lionel said: “It’s been an unforgettable year and I can’t wait to return to the UK to see my fans. It’s always been a really special place for me and this year in particular the UK has been incredible to me.

Joining Lionel at Colchester will be Corinne Bailey Rae, performing tracks from her new album 'The Heart Speaks In Whispers' released in May.
