A special singer from across the Atlantic is coming to Majorca just to say Hello! And if you have been looking for him, then this is your chance to combine a relaxing holiday near the beach with the chance to see an icon from the 70’s and 80’s. Whilst the island is famous for its relaxing holidays on stunning beaches, surrounded by an incredible natural landscape and luxury services, the music scene on this Mediterranean paradise lures in some very big named artists. And if you’ve haven’t guessed it, Lionel Richie will be performing on the island as part of his Hello Tour in 2020. So if you are looking for a delightful getaway to Majorca and feel like spending an evening dancing on the ceiling all night long, then look no further…

Whilst the neighbouring island of Ibiza is renowned as one of the best places in the world for partying, the music scene in Majorca is more refined. For what the islands lacks in superclubs, it makes up for in the diversity of the artists. If you’re a fan of pop, rock, house, jazz, R&B, blues, Hispanic music, there will definitely be something for you. Every year around our hotels in Palmanova and Santa Ponsa in the Southwest of the island, you can find the Mallorca Live Festival, which boasts some of the country’s best artists as well as international headliners, such as the Pet Shop Boys in 2020. Whilst at one of the best ports in Majorca boasts another Music Festival just 5 minutes from our Hotel Tropico, in the Port Adriano area, which in 2019 included a diverse group of artists such as Tony Hadley,

The Village People and Gregory Porter. Festivals aside, a range of other influential artists visit the island whilst touring, which brings us to the lead singer of the Commodores.

The Alabama born man made his names through the funk and soul band, the Commodores, throughout the 70’s with hit singles including ‘Easy’, ‘Brick House’ and ‘Three Times a Lady’. Lionel later went solo in the 80’s and created some all-time classics that never get old. ‘All Night Long’, ‘Hello’, ‘Dancing on the Ceiling’, ‘Say You, Say Me’, ‘Endless Love’… the list goes on! Whilst his performance during the Sunday Afternoon slot at Glastonbury in 2015 was celebrated not just by the 120,000 at the festival but by millions around the country.

Lionel will be performing at the Plaza de Toros in the Majorcan capital, Palma de Mallorca. There are so many things to do in Palma with the chance to see a legend of Funk and Soul music being one, whilst the city is very accessible from both Palmanova and Santa Ponsa.
