Lionel Richie has announced outdoor performances for 2023 at Ormeau Park, Belfast on Saturday June 3rd and St. Anne’s Park, Dublin on Sunday June 4th with very special guests The Human League.

Richie's latest album, Live from Las Vegas, took him on the “Hello” tour in summer 2019. The album, which was released on August 16, 2019 was No.1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart and marks the legendary artist’s first release on Capitol Records.

The international superstar has sold over 125 million albums worldwide. Richie has won an Oscar, a Golden Globe, four Grammy Awards, was named the MusicCares Person of the Year in 2016, a Kennedy Center Honoree in 2017 and most recently, was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2022 Class.

Lionel Richie is known for his mega-hits such as 'Endless Love,' 'Lady,' 'Truly,' 'All Night Long,' 'Penny Lover,' 'Stuck on You,' 'Hello,' 'Say You, Say Me,' 'Dancing on the Ceiling,' and co-wrote 'We Are the World,' for USA for Africa. His song catalogue also includes his early work with The Commodores, where he developed a groundbreaking style that defied genre categories, penning smashes such as 'Three Times a Lady,' 'Still,' and 'Easy.'

Richie has had 11 consecutive years where he wrote No.1 songs, and has sold out arenas worldwide with a set list of his brightest and best anthems. In recent years, he also headlined festivals including Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, and Glastonbury, drawing the festival’s biggest crowd ever with more than 200,000 attendees.

Richie is currently a judge on ABC’s American Idol and has been for the past 5 seasons. He launched his Las Vegas headlining residency show, Lionel Richie — All the Hits in April 2016. Richie recently extended his “Back to Las Vegas” residency at Wynn Las Vegas’ Encore Theater in 2022.

After an acclaimed run of gigs across the US, Lionel Richie announced a major outdoor performance at St. Anne's Park as part of his Hello! Tour back in 2019, but Covid derailed the plan for June 6, 2020.
