Background
"I've been around artists that say, 'I just won't play my hits. I'll play something new'. That's why I'm saying it's all the hits, all night. This is just back-to-back karaoke on steroids".[2]
On June 7, 2013, in partnership with NBC and The Today Show, Richie announced that he will launch ‘All the Hits All Night Long’, his first North American tour in over a decade.[3] The tour will visit stadiums and arenas across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, beginning on September 18 in Hollywood, Florida and ending on October 18 in Los Angeles.[4]
Richie said in a media release: "I’m so lucky to have the collection of songs that I can play for my fans, it becomes a giant sing-along most nights", he said in a statement. "People always ask me ‘what are you going to sing tonight Lionel?’ and I always laugh and reply, ‘what are YOU going to sing tonight?’"[5]
Before these, In support of his tenth studio album, Tuskegee, Richie announced an extensive 2012 European tour that featured stops in Austria, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Hungary, Monaco, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Ireland and around the UK.[6]
