Entertainment

All work and no play make for a boring Focus. Our final night celebration is a once-in-a-lifetime concert experience featuring four-time Grammy award-winning musician Lionel Richie at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park along San Diego Bay. Be ready to rock to the music of this living legend while taking in panoramic views of the city’s skyline, bay, and marina.

International superstar Lionel Richie boasts a discography of albums and singles that is second to none. With more than 125 million albums sold worldwide, an Oscar®, Golden Globe®, and four Grammy Awards®*, Richie has been honored with distinctions including 2016 MusicCares Person of the Year, and the 2017 Kennedy Center Honors. In March 2018, Richie cemented his iconic legacy as he imprinted his hand and footprints at Hollywood’s storied TCL Chinese Theatre. In 2022, he was both inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and received the 2022 American Music Awards Icon Award, his 18th AMA award. He also received the 2022 Gershwin Prize for Popular Song by the Library of Congress.  September 2023, Richie concluded the first run of his acclaimed 20-city “Sing a Song All Night Long” arena tour featuring special guests—one of the best-selling bands of all time—Earth, Wind & Fire. The tour will continue in 2024 with 13 new dates added across the US. Also in 2024, Richie continues his longtime residency, now at the Wynn Encore Theater, in “Lionel Richie: King of Hearts.” Richie has served as a judge on ABC’s “American Idol,” for the past six seasons and has returned for its 7th season, which debuted on February 18, 2024. Most recently, Richie debuted and served as producer on the documentary The Greatest Night in Pop, which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim.
