Iconic performer Lionel Richie will return for a tour of Australia & New Zealand's finest indoor arenas and outdoor wineries in March 2011. He has previously toured Australia back in 2007.

Richie will perform at A Day On the Green concerts in Victoria, NSW and South Australia, with opener Lowrider, continuing the popular winery event's 10th birthday season. Richie will also perform at Church Road Winery, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand, with opener Lauren Mitchell.

Supporting Lionel Richie on tour will be Australia's very own soulful pop star and everyone's favourite fro Guy Sebastian.

"Words can't describe how thrilled I am to be invited on Lionel's tour. He's a living legend and has always been an influence on me...I grew up with his music in my ears," said Guy Sebastian.

Guy has enjoyed notable success from his five previous studio albums and after completing a lengthy stint as a judge on X-Factor. He is currently celebrating the release of Twenty Ten - his first greatest hits set with the addition of two new songs and an acoustic compilation. The album debuted in the Top 10 on the ARIA Album Chart and was Sebastian's sixth consecutive release to do so.
