The soul legend brings his immortal melodies to Zurich's Hallenstadion on July 12, 2025. Lionel Richie's concerts bring back memories for young and old alike.
The 75-year-old musician began his career in the 1960s as the lead singer of the funk and soul band "The Commodores" and performed as the opening act for the Jackson Five, among others. In the 1980s, Lionel Richie launched his solo career, which made him one of the most successful artists in the world. With over 100 million records sold and 22 hits in the US top ten, he has left a lasting mark on the music landscape.
In 1981, Lionel Richie wrote the title song for the film "Endless Love", which he sang together with Diana Ross and which reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The duet developed into one of the most successful ballads of Richie's career and remained at the top of the charts for a total of nine weeks. This was followed by solo successes such as "All Night Long", "Hello" and "Say You, Say Me". He also co-wrote the world-famous charity song "We Are the World" with Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones. All of these songs have inspired generations of music lovers and are still popular radio hits today.
Lionel Richie created a great atmosphere in Zurich back in 2015. At the time, a fan wrote on Ticketcorner: "I hope I don't have to wait soooo many years for the next concert!" After ten years, the time has finally come: Richie is returning to the Hallenstadion stage.
Fans should mark October 24, 2024 in red in their calendars, as the public pre-sale for the long-awaited Swiss concert starts this Thursday. Anyone who would like to be reminded of the start of the presale by e-mail can register for the ticket alarm.
