Album Cover/Universal

Are you ready to dance on the ceiling again, Tampa?

Hope so, because Lionel Richie is coming back to Amalie Arena.

Sunday’s show is one of two Florida stops and the 69-year-old’s first in the area since a 2017 gig in the same room. “I am so excited to bring my Live from Las Vegas album to life and to share it with my fans,” Richie said in a release. “I’m really looking forward to going on tour and performing for everyone this summer — it’s going to be one big party.”

Sunday, July 28 @ Amalie Arena, Tampa
