Produced by Live Nation, the 26-city tour begins June 24 and continues through August 14. Citi is the official card of the tour.

With more than 125 million albums sold worldwide, an Oscar®, Golden Globe®, and four Grammy Awards®, Richie, born June 20, 1949, is known for such mega hits as “Endless Love,” “Lady,” “Truly,” “All Night Long,” “Hello,” “Say You, Say Me,” “Dancing on the Ceiling,” and co-wrote “We Are the World” for U.S.A for Africa. His song catalog 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.” He has received numerous distinctions including 2016 MusiCares Person of the Year, and the 2017 Kennedy Center Honors. In 2018, Richie cemented his iconic legacy as he imprinted his hand and footprints at Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. In 2022, he was both inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and received the 2022 American Music Awards Icon Award. He also received the 2022 Gershwin Prize for Popular Song by the Library of Congress. Richie served as producer on the 2024 documentary The Greatest Night in Pop, about the making of “We Are the World.” Richie has served as a judge on ABC’s American Idol for the past eight seasons and is back for its 9th season. He published his New York Times bestselling memoir Truly, available here, in 2025. His recordings are available here.

In 1969, music legend Maurice White founded Earth, Wind & Fire named after the elements from his very own astrological charts. The group scored eight number one hits and have sold more than 100 million albums worldwide thanks to such hits as “Shining Star,” “That’s the Way of the World,” “Sing a Song,” “Let’s Groove” and “September.” They’ve won nine GRAMMY® Awards including one for Lifetime Achievement (2012). In 2000, Earth, Wind & Fire was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, cementing their lasting impact on popular music and, in 2019, their contributions to arts and culture were acknowledged in Washington DC with the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors. Their recordings are available here.
