Big gig announcement this morning, as the one and only Lionel Richie has announced an 'All the Hits' summer gig at Punchestown Racecourse.

It's been a while since the racecourse has held an event, although it has played host to the likes of AC/DC and Radiohead in the past.

Joining Richie on the bill on Saturday, July 23rd will be former Westlife man Shane Filan, James Morrison, Corinne Bailey Rae, Sister Sledge and Albert Hammond (not yer man from The Strokes, but his dad). More acts will be announced.

Tickets are €69.50 incl. booking fee, and on sale from usual outlets next Friday, March 11th at 9am.
