Multi-platinum selling singer Lionel Richie is coming to Glasgow.

Richie will bring his new 31-date tour, which includes nine UK shows, to the city's SSE Hydro on March 6 2015.

He said: "I can't wait to get back to the UK. The audiences are always so great and I always have an incredible time when I'm in the United Kingdom. The show feels like a great big sing-along most nights so I'm looking forward to singing along with the people of the UK again!"

Tickets for the show will be priced £28 to £72.80 (including admin fee).

Meanwhile, Mark Knopfler has also announced a date at the Hydro.

The former Dire Straits frontman will play the venue on May 19 2015.

Tickets for both shows will go on sale on Friday, September 26. For more information visit the Hydro website.
