It's the kind of double bill that only comes around once in a generation: two Rock & Roll Hall of Fame–caliber acts, decades of number-one hits, and one unforgettable night in Dallas. Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire bring the Sing a Song All Night Long tour to American Airlines Center in Victory Park. If you and your group have tickets, this guide covers everything you need to know — and how to get there without the parking-garage headache.
The show is one night — Wednesday, July 29, 2026 — at American Airlines Center, 2500 Victory Ave, Dallas. The music starts at 7:30 PM CT. Doors typically open about 90 minutes before showtime, so always confirm the official door and start times on your ticket and at americanairlinescenter.com before you travel.

Two Legends, One Stage
🎤 Lionel Richie
The four-time Grammy winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer behind "All Night Long (All Night)," "Hello," "Easy," and "Dancing on the Ceiling." A generational hitmaker with the Commodores and as a solo star — expect an arena of fans singing every word.
🔥 Earth, Wind & Fire
One of the best-selling bands of all time, with a horn-driven catalog of funk and soul anthems — "September," "Boogie Wonderland," "Shining Star," "Fantasy," and "Let's Groove." A Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band that turns any room into a dance floor.
🎶 The "Sing a Song All Night Long" Tour
A co-headline celebration whose name blends Earth, Wind & Fire's "Sing a Song" with Lionel Richie's "All Night Long." Two full sets of career-spanning hits under one roof — one of the summer's must-see stops on a 26-city run.
What to Expect from the Show
🎙️ Two Full Sets of Hits
This is a true co-headline night — not an opener and a headliner. Both Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire deliver full sets packed with number-ones. Come early and stay late; there's no filler in this lineup.
💃 A Nonstop Dance Party
Between "September," "All Night Long," "Boogie Wonderland," and "Hello," the American Airlines Center bowl becomes one giant singalong and dance floor. Wear comfortable shoes — you'll be on your feet.
👨👩👧👦 A Multi-Generational Crowd
These songs span five decades, so expect fans of every age — parents, kids, and grandparents all knowing every word. It's one of the most feel-good, family-friendly arena nights of the summer.
Know Before You Go
Bag Policy
American Airlines Center allows bags no larger than 14"×14"×6", plus wristlets, clutches, or wallets up to 4.5"×6.5" at all entrances. Clear bags are encouraged (not required) and speed up entry. No backpacks. Every guest passes a metal detector and visual inspection — confirm at americanairlinescenter.com.
Cashless Venue
American Airlines Center is a cashless building. Bring a major credit card or mobile pay for concessions, merch, and parking; cash-to-card kiosks are available on-site if you only have cash.
Parking Fills Fast
On-site garages and lots (Lexus Garage, lettered lots, valet) open about two hours before the show at roughly $10–$30, and premium lots sell out for big tours. Hiring QTS eliminates parking entirely and lets your driver stage nearby.
All Ages & Family
This is an all-ages show and fans of every generation attend together. Check americanairlinescenter.com for any child-ticket and lap-child rules, and keep younger fans close in the Victory Park crowds.
Tickets
Buy only through official channels — Ticketmaster and Live Nation. Tickets start around $101 and rise for premium seats; resale prices vary and fraudulent listings are common. QTS does not sell event tickets; we get you to the door.
Arrive Early for Security
Metal detectors and bag checks at every entrance, plus a full house arriving for a 7:30 PM start. Arrive early — lines build fast. Hiring QTS means you arrive on a schedule, not circling Victory Park for a space.
Why Book QTS for the Concert
American Airlines Center sits in Victory Park, wedged between I-35E (Stemmons Freeway), the Dallas North Tollway, and Woodall Rodgers — a tight, high-traffic pocket just north of downtown Dallas. On a concert night, garages fill early and the post-show exit crawls. Rideshare prices surge 3–5x the moment 20,000 fans request a pickup at once.
