An Instagram post from @lionelrichie and coverage reported by The Source confirm Lionel Richie will tour North America with Earth, Wind & Fire in 2026. The 26-city run, produced by Live Nation, is titled “Sing A Song All Night Long.”
The tour has generated significant excitement, given both acts’ influence on modern music, including decades of sampling across hip-hop and pop. Ticket sales are expected to be brisk, with presales already drawing attention among soul and R&B fans.
Live Nation confirmed the general on-sale timing, and The Source framed the pairing as a meeting of two pillars of Black music whose influence continues to ripple across genres.
Echotitbits take: The legacy tour is still the industry’s gold mine. This isn’t just nostalgia—it’s a live masterclass for younger audiences whose favorite songs are built on these melodies and grooves. Expect this to be one of the summer’s highest-grossing tours in the soul/R&B lane.
