In just under a month, global music icon, Lionel Richie, will be making his return to the UK this summer for a string of huge shows across the country, kicking off in Belfast on the 31st May. Confirmed to join him is rising star Brooke Combe, who will be supporting Richie throughout his UK leg. Brooke will open the show across Belfast, Dublin, Glasgow, London, Sheffield, Birmingham and Manchester.
Earlier this year Brooke released her highly-anticipated debut album ‘Dancing At The Edge Of The World’ via Modern Sky Records, to high acclaim, including a 4 star review from The Daily Mail. Brooke is one of Scotland’s most exciting up and coming artists, having been named Scottish Breakthrough Artist of the Year and awarded Rolling Stone UK’s ‘Play Next’ Award. Alongside multiple One To Watch shortlists by NME, BBC and DORK - Brooke is definitely an artist to keep an eye on.
Lionel is an advocate for supporting young talent and as soon as he heard of this wonderful new artist, Brooke, he wanted to ensure as many people as possible got to hear her fantastic music by inviting her on his tour this June.
Speaking on the tour, Brooke says: “It's a massive honour to support such a legend. I grew up listening to Lionel Richie, so to be asked to support him on his UK Tour is surreal to say the least. To play before him and watch a musical legend every night is going to be very special.”
‘Say Hello To The Hits’ promises to be a dynamic showcase of Lionel’s greatest hits, unforgettable vocals, and magnetic personality. From pop ballads to upbeat party anthems, Richie’s performances transcend generations, making his shows feel like a musical reunion for all.
