MEN Arena 20th March 2009
Liverpool Arena 7th April 2009

The tour will follow the release of Lionel Richie’s ninth studio album ‘Just Go’ which will be released early 2009.

Richie’s success story over nearly 30 years is the stuff of legends and one few artists can match: he's sold over 100 million albums; he's won countless awards including an Oscar, a Golden Globe, a staggering five Grammy Awards and the Crystal Award for Humanitarianism; he's written some of the best known and loved songs in pop history and continues to sell-out stadium and arena shows all over the world.

Lionel's 2009 Tour will give fans a chance to experience first hand his extraordinary new album and also his incredible back catalogue – from the classics of his solo career such as “Hello”, “Dancing on The Ceiling,” and “Endless Love” to the mega-hits of his Commodore days, like “Easy,” “Brickhouse” and “Three Times a Lady”.

Lionel Richie will be coming to the North West with Smooth Radio.

Tickets on sale from Friday 24th October.
