Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire to perform July 25, 2026 at Orlando’s Kia Center

Co-headlining arena show set for late July in downtown Orlando

Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire are scheduled to bring a co-headlining concert to Orlando this summer, with a performance booked for Saturday, July 25, 2026, at the Kia Center. The event listing shows a 7:30 p.m. start time and indicates tickets are not yet in general on-sale status, described as “on sale soon.”

The Orlando date is part of the pair’s broader “Sing a Song All Night Long” North American tour itinerary for summer 2026. Official tour schedules for the joint run place the Kia Center stop within a Florida stretch that also includes Tampa on July 22 and a South Florida date on July 24, before moving on to Texas later that month.

How the Orlando date fits into the 2026 tour routing

Publicly posted tour routing for 2026 shows the run beginning in late June and continuing through mid-August. The Orlando concert arrives about one month into the tour and positions Central Florida as a weekend anchor between other Southeast arena stops.

• Date and venue: Saturday, July 25, 2026, Kia Center, Orlando
• Start time: 7:30 p.m.
• Tour context: Orlando follows Tampa (July 22) and precedes additional dates in Texas

What audiences can expect from the two-set billing

The tour branding signals a party-style, hits-focused format that draws on the catalogs of both acts. Richie’s set typically centers on material spanning his solo career and earlier work, while Earth, Wind & Fire’s performances are built around their signature blend of R&B, funk, soul, jazz, and pop, featuring staple songs that remain heavily programmed in live show rotations and radio formats.

The Orlando concert is structured as a co-headlining night rather than a single-artist booking, with both acts billed together under the same tour name.

Orlando venue notes and event planning considerations

As with other major Kia Center concerts, entry policies and permitted items are expected to follow venue rules published for ticketed events. Attendees typically should anticipate standard arena security screening and event-specific guidance issued closer to show week.

The July 25 booking adds another major legacy act pairing to Orlando’s summer concert calendar, with the downtown arena continuing to serve as the region’s primary large-capacity indoor venue for touring productions.
