Music icon Lionel Richie has just announced details of a huge UK tour – including a show here in Manchester. 

He has included a night at the Co-op Live arena as part of his Say Hello To The Hits tour, which will be a celebration of his decades-long career as one of the world’s greatest entertainers. 

Lionel Richie is set to touch down in Manchester next summer, along with shows in Sheffield, Birmingham, Glasgow and London. 

His biggest hits from over the years include Hello, Dancing On The Ceiling, Say You Say Me, We Are The World, Endless Love, and masses more. 

The Grammy Award-winning, Oscar-winning, Golden Globe-winning legend is famed for his electrifying performances, smooth vocals and floor-filling soul and R&B tracks. 

75-year-old Lionel Richie drew in the biggest crowd at Glastonbury 2015 with his headline performance on the Pyramid Stage, and now he’s set to bring his world-class showmanship to Manchester. 

He’s announced five arena shows across the UK next summer before he heads across to the rest of Europe. 

For the north, there’ll be a chance to see this never-before-seen production at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield on 8 June, and the Co-op Live arena on 12 June. 

Tickets will go on general sale at 10am on Friday 25 October.
