The One-Night Event Features Exclusive Content, With Richie Speaking About His Life, Career and Glastonbury Performance

On November 19, CinEvents in partnership with Fathom Events and Meteor 17 will launch an exclusive, one-night cinema release of “Lionel Richie at Glastonbury,” the filmed version of veteran singer-songwriter Lionel Richie‘s iconic Glastonbury Festival performance, across the UK & Ireland. 

In 2015, Richie performed for nearly 200,000 fans during the U.K. festival’s distinguished Sunday teatime slot, reserved for music legends. The screenings will also feature an exclusive introduction and commentary from Richie about his career — from his beginnings in Tuskegee, Alabama, to his inspiring performance at Glastonbury.

Tickets for the UK & Irish screenings of “Lionel Richie at Glastonbury” are available now at www.fathomconcerts.com and participating cinema box offices.

“I’m so excited for the opportunity to share the 2015 Glastonbury Festival performance with fans across the globe,” said Lionel Richie. “I’m honoured to have played on such an iconic stage and the fans’ energy that day truly made this show a memorable moment in my career.”

“Lionel Richie at Glastonbury” was filmed on Sunday, June 28, 2015 while Richie performed on the main Pyramid stage for the biggest crowd at Glastonbury Festival that year. His set included hits like Dancing on the Ceiling, All Night Long, We Are The World, Easy, Three Times A Lady and more. The esteemed teatime performance slot is a highlight of the festival each year and has featured other musical greats including Dolly Parton, Barry Gibb, Leonard Cohen and James Brown.
