Multiplatinum pop superstar Lionel Richie has announced a date at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire next June.

The 125 million-selling music legend is the first artist confirmed for next year’s Nocturne Live concert series, which returns to the venue from 14-18 June.  

The Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy-winning singer, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year, is a music icon famed for a vast array of seminal hit songs including Endless Love, Lady, All Night Long, Stuck on You, Hello, Say You, Say Me, Dancing On The Ceiling, Three Times a Lady, Still, and Easy.

The star said: "I'm really looking forward to heading to Blenheim Palace next summer. The UK crowds are some of the best in the world and I can't wait to get back over there to see you all!"

He will bring his dazzling live show to the 10,000-capacity Great Court at Blenheim Palace on Wednesday, 14 June for what will be his first trip to the UK since 2019. More names for next year’s series will be announced in due course.

The Nocturne Live concert series, which since its inception in 2015 has featured performances from the likes of Elton John, Kylie Minogue, Gary Barlow, Simply Red, Nile Rodgers, Noel Gallagher, Gregory Porter, Van Morrison, Tears for Fears, Gladys Knight, Elvis Costello, Simple Minds and Ennio Morricone amongst many others, runs from 14-18 June, 2023. 

Tickets for Lionel Richie start at £54 and go on sale at 9am on Friday, 4 November. 

Tickets, along with a limited number of VIP packages - which provide an exclusive opportunity to dine in the State Rooms of Blenheim Palace - are available from www.nocturnelive.com
