“We want music fans to have the best night when they join our international stars Lionel Richie, and George Ezra for this huge celebration of live music. We hope that these travel options will help everyone to make their plans and get ready to party ‘all night long’ without worrying about how to get home.”
Lionel Richie’s shows are renowned for their party atmosphere, with fans set to enjoy timeless mega-hits and singalong classics such as Three Times A Lady, Truly, Say You Say Me and All Night Long. His music is part of the fabric of pop music and Richie has sold more than 125 million albums worldwide and is an Oscar, Golden Globe, and four-time Grammy Awards winner.
George Ezra is one of the UK’s most acclaimed songwriters and live performers. After two blockbuster albums – Wanted On Voyage (2014) and Staying At Tamara’s (2018), both of which reached Number 1 in the UK and sold millions around the world – he released third album The Gold Rush Kid last year which once again enjoyed the Number 1 spot in the UK and includes the hit singles Anyone For You and Green Green Grass.
