Grammy-winning pop singer and American Idol judge Lionel Richie will bring his Sing A Song All Night Long tour to San Antonio this summer with Earth, Wind & Fire as opening act.

Richie — a recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and winner of the Library of Congress’ Gershwin Prize for Popular Song — will perform Tuesday, June 4, at Frost Bank Center. The concert is part of 13-date extension of his 2023 sold-out tour.

General admission tickets go on sale Friday, Jan. 19, at 10 a.m. from both Frost Bank Center and Ticketmaster. Pre-sale access is available to those who sign up at Frost Bank Center’s All Access Newsletter and select the “Pop” genre.

Richie has won four Grammy Awards, an Oscar and a Golden Globe during a career that’s included 125 million albums sold worldwide. He began in the 1970s as the songwriter and co-lead singer of Motown group The Commodores, then launched a solo career that included 1980s pop mega hits “Hello,” “All Night Long” and “Say You, Say Me.”

Nine-time Grammy winners Earth, Wind & Fire, known for a horn-driven mix of funk, soul and R&B are a top-selling pop act in their own right, having sold 100 million albums over a career spanning five decades.
