Lionel Richie will continue his relationship with Encore Theater, and the Strip, into the fall.

The pop legend and “American Idol” judge has added Oct. 15, 17-18 and 24-25 to his “King Of Hearts” production at the Wynn theater (tickets on sale 10 a.m. Friday, Pacific time, at Ticketmaster.com). He returns for previously booked dates April 9, 11-12.

Richie is among the venue’s longest-running, best-selling headliners. He’s logged more than 50 sold-out shows since premiering at the venue in 2019.

Richie previously set up at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood (PH Live today) from 2016-18. His first appearance in Las Vegas was in that venue, when it was Aladdin Theatre for the Performing Arts, in 1982.
