Global Icon Lionel Richie has added a further two new shows to the UK leg of his ‘Say Hello To The Hits’ 2025 tour next summer due to demand for tickets for his first arena shows in the UK since 2016.

An additional date at Manchester’s Co-op Live on Friday 13th June plus a second night at London’s The O2 on Sunday 15th June will go on sale on Friday 25th October at 10 am, alongside the other five shows announced earlier this week.

The ‘Say Hello To The Hits’ tour will see a new production, never seen before in the UK & Europe.

Known for his smooth vocals and timeless classics, the award-winning musician will embark on a series of electrifying performances, kicking off with seven arena dates across the UK before continuing into Europe for a summer of live shows. 

‘Say Hello To The Hits’ kicks off at the SSE Arena in Belfast on 31 May. Richie will then hit the stage for a string of UK tour dates, lighting up the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on 4 June, before gracing London’s iconic The O2 on 6 & 15 June. Fans can also catch him at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield on 8 June, and Utilita Arena Birmingham on 9 June, and at Manchester’s Co-op Live with two shows on the 12 & 13 June. 

Lionel Richie, a Grammy Awards®, Oscar®, and Golden Globe® winning icon, has sold over 125 million records worldwide. As one of the most celebrated figures in music history, his illustrious career spans over multiple decades, producing unforgettable anthems like ‘Hello’, ‘All Night Long’, ‘Say You Say Me’, ‘We Are The World’, ‘Easy’ and many more.
