A Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is kicking off his 2026 summer tour at St. Paul's Grand Casino Arena!

LIONEL RICHIE TOUR 2026

Lionel Richie will bring his 'Sing a Song All Night Long' tour to Minnesota on June 24th with special guests Earth, Wind and Fire. A pre-sale for the show begins on Thursday, January 29th, with the public on sale beginning on Friday, January 30th at 10 a.m..

Richie's legendary career stretches back over 50 years to his time with Commodores, with whom he wrote and recorded classics like "Three Times a Lady," "Easy," "Still," and "Sail On."

In 1980, Richie teamed up with Kenny Rogers for the #1 hit, "Lady," then teamed up with Diana Ross in 1981 for the theme song to the movie Endless Love, which became another number-one single.

GOING SOLO

Richie released his debut solo album in 1982 and again found himself at the top of the charts with "Truly." His freshman solo effort also contained top-five hits "You Are" and "My Love."

Since that debut, Richie has charted three additional number-one hits ("All Night Long," "Hello," and "Say You, Say Me") and several others in the top 40.

EARTH, WIND AND FIRE MINNESOTA TOUR STOP

Earth, Wind and Fire's amazing career goes all the way back to 1969, with the band selling over 90 million albums along the way.

Although their anthemic "Shining Star" is their only track to top the Billboard Hot 100, the group has posted 13 songs in the Top 40 during their illustrious career.
