Eighties radio-pop icon Lionel Richie and legendary R&B group Earth, Wind & Fire will bring their 2026 North American tour to the Frost Bank Center on Tuesday, July 28, promoter Live Nation said Monday.<\/p>\n

If the pairing of the two Rock & Roll Hall of Fame members evokes a sense of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu, it\u2019s probably because they toured together in 2024 \u2014\u00a0and even performed at the same San Antonio venue during that road jaunt.<\/p>\n

So, that out of the way, \u201cLet\u2019s Groove,\u201d as Earth Wind & Fire would say. <\/p>\n

Known for hook-laden ballads and bops such as \u201cTruly,\u201d \u201cSay You, Say Me,\u201d and \u201cDancing on the Ceiling,\u201d Richie has sold 125 million albums sold worldwide, winning an Oscar, a Golden Globe and four Grammys along the way. He also received the 2022 Gershwin Prize for Popular Song from the Library of Congress and has served as a judge on hit TV singing contest American Idol for 16 seasons.<\/p>\n

For its part, Earth Wind & Fire\u2019s horn-driven blend of pop hooks and funky syncopation have landed the group nine Grammys and made it one of the best-selling artists of all time. Indeed, eight of the band\u2019s 23 albums have gone double platinum, and songs such as \u201cSeptember\u201d and \u201cShining Star\u201d continue to get regular dance floor play. <\/p>\n

General tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Jan. 30, via\u00a0Frost Bank Center<\/a> and\u00a0Ticketmaster<\/a>. Those who sign up for Frost Bank Center\u2019s\u00a0All Access Newsletter<\/a>\u00a0and select the \u201cPop\u201d genre can qualify for exclusive presale access. <\/p>\n
