Lionel Richie and Mariah Carey are coming to the Sprint Center in April

In one of the more unexpected concert announcements lately, Lionel Richie plans a Sprint Center stop on April 16 — with special guest Mariah Carey, who hasn’t toured the United States since 2010 and historically hasn’t paid many visits to KC.

The tour is named “All the Hits” (there are a lot of them), and tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday, December 17, via LiveNation. Presale tickets go on sale via the AT&T “front of the line” program beginning tomorrow at 10 a.m. via this site
