Lionel Richie performs with Earth, Wind & Fire in a concert titled 'Sing a Song All Night Long' at the Moody Center.
Lionel Richie is playing the Moody Center on Friday, August 14, and he's not coming alone. He's sharing the bill with Earth, Wind & Fire, so you're getting two distinct legacies on one stage. It's a double bill that puts two very different kinds of music in the same room: Richie's melodic pop and R&B, and the horn-heavy, dance-floor funk that Earth, Wind & Fire built their whole sound around.
Richie has spent decades moving between ballads and upbeat pop, and he's still touring that catalog. Earth, Wind & Fire bring a different energy entirely—the brass section, the tight arrangements, and the kind of songs that usually get people moving. Having them both on the same night means the evening will shift from one to the other, rather than staying in one gear. It's a long set when you combine two acts like this, so you'll be there for a good while.

The show is at the Moody Center in Austin, and it starts at 7:30 PM. If you're planning your night, keep in mind it's a Friday, so traffic around the venue will be what it usually is for a weekend night in the city. With two names on the bill, it's a full evening of music rather than a single set. Tickets are available through Live Nation.
