Giles Cooper of HeritageLive Festivals commented:
“Lionel Richie is quite simply one of the greatest entertainers of all time. From his early days at Motown through to the incredible solo career that has seen him sell millions of records and perform to audiences all over the world, his music has soundtracked generations. To have an artist of his calibre perform an exclusive UK show for us at The Sandringham Estate in 2026 is truly special, and we can’t wait for what is going to be an unforgettable evening of timeless music!”
Famed for his iconic hits such as ‘All Night Long’, ‘Dancing on the Ceiling’, and ‘Hello’, Lionel Richie’s music is part of the fabric of popular culture, with more than 125 million albums sold worldwide.
Richie has won an Oscar®, a Golden Globe®, four Grammy Awards®, and in 2022 was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
In 2022 he received the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song by the American Library of Congress, and is the 12th recipient of the prestigious award.
Richie’s further mega-hits such as ‘Endless Love’, ‘Lady’, ‘Truly’, ‘Penny Lover’, ‘Stuck on You’, ‘Say You, Say Me’, as well as his hits with The Commodores including ‘Three Times a Lady’, ‘Still’, and ‘Easy’, have seen him become one of music’s best-loved and most iconic stars. Richie is one of only two solo songwriters who has written eight number one hits that made the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Renowned for his world-class showmanship and ability to connect with audiences across generations, Richie’s performances are a masterclass in both nostalgia and energy. His headline performance on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2015 drew the festival’s largest crowd of the year, cementing his place as a legendary live performer.
