Musical legend Lionel Richie has revealed plans to kick off his summer tour in Northampton this summer.
News of this gig broke yesterday and alongside Paloma Faith announcing a gig at Towcester Racecourse, it’s the second huge announcement for the county this week.
Lionel will headline Franklin’s Gardens on Friday, June 1. Tickets go on general sale on Friday, February 2, at 10am and we don’t expect they’ll be around for long.
Tickets went on sale to Saints season ticket holders today and email subscribers can get early access tomorrow ahead of general sale.
You can sign up for early access via the club’s website.
Lionel Richie has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and won for Grammy Awards
This will be the first time Richie has appeared in the UK since his 2016 All The Hits tour, which followed a phenomenal Glastonbury performance in 2015 – with more than 200,000 people flocking to the Pyramid Stage to make up the biggest crowd of the weekend.
Richie is known for hits including Lady, Truly, Hello and All Night Long.
A range of hospitality packages will also be available in the Franklin’s Gardens Boxes, Sturtridge Suite and Director’s Lounge. For more information about those, call 01604 751543.
General admission tickets will be available via ticketmaster.com, AXS.com, gigantic.com and alttickets.com
