He's the musical icon that brought us 'Hello' and 'Endless Love', and today Lionel Richie announced he will tour Australia in September and October. Joining him for the ride is popular disco band CHIC featuring Nile Rodgers.

Providing one of the greatest lineups, an addictive on-stage energy and passion for all things music, Richie's ALL THE HITS show is guaranteed to get your feet tapping and body moving. And as one of only two songwriters in history to achieve #1 spot for nine consecutive years, this six-city tour promises to be jam-packed with the songs you know and love.

From 'All Night Long' and 'Stuck on You' to 'Hello', Richie's song catalogue is one of the best around. 'We Are The World', written with Michael Jackson for USA for Africa, continues to be ones of the most important (and beautiful) pop songs in history.

Joining Richie on stage as a seriously cool supporting act is Nile Rogers, co-founder of CHIC. Rodgers helped create chart-topping pop hits like 'Le Freak', sparked the advent of hip-hop with 'Good Times,' and won eleven Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominations.
