Overview
- Richie announced six Encore Theater performances for October and November with tickets scheduled to go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. Pacific through lionelrichie.com and venue channels.
- The dates are the first new Wynn shows since a medical interruption that forced him to stop a St. Paul set and postpone Chicago and Columbus shows on a doctor’s advice.
- He returned to performing after the interruption, addressing audiences about the scare when he resumed his tour in Pittsburgh at the end of June.
- Richie opened his Encore residency in 2019 and has sold nearly 60 shows at Wynn; he also headlined the Zappos Theater from 2016–18 and first played Las Vegas in 1982.
- The Encore set mixes his solo hits and Commodores songs and the added fall dates both expand his Las Vegas run and may affect rescheduled tour stops later this year.
