If Lionel Richie’s epic Glastonbury performance showed anything, it was that the legendary motown star can still go all night long - something he’s clearly desperate to do again after announcing a residency in Las Vegas in 2016. Lionel Richie - All The Hits will begin in April next year and will be the start of 20 shows in May, September and October for the Dancing on the Ceiling singer as he asks his audiences ‘is it me you’re looking for’?

Speaking to the LA Times, Richie said: "It’s just time. And it’s the perfect place to try out new material, to get close to what’s going on in the business."

An LA residency stalwart is Britney Spears who has just seen a two year extension to her successful Pieces of Me residency.
