Grammy Award-Winning Superstar Lionel Richie's Legendary Glastonbury Festival Performance is Coming to Cinemas Worldwide This November

On November 19, Fathom Events and Meteor 17 will launch an exclusive, one-night global theatrical release of “Lionel Richie at Glastonbury,” the filmed version of veteran singer-songwriter Lionel Richie‘s iconic Glastonbury Festival performance. In 2015, Richie performed for nearly 200,000 fans during the U.K. festival’s distinguished Sunday teatime slot, reserved for music legends. The Fathom 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 U.S. screenings of “Lionel Richie at Glastonbury” are available beginning Friday, October 18, at www.FathomEvents.com and participating theater 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 honored to have played on such an iconic stage and the fans’ energy that day truly made this show a memorable moment in my career.”
