Richie announced the tour dates via his Instagram page, by saying, "It's time my friends to announce a tour. Not just any tour but the tour I've been trying to do for years and now it's going to actually happen."

Richie then showed clips of him and EW&F in concert as he continued by saying "So join us, this is the place to be."

The tour opens on Aug.4 at the Xcel Energy Center in St Paul, Minn.

Though Earth, Wind & Fire was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000, Richie made it last year.

"The part that makes it so wonderful is that a lot of times your peers are voting for you to join this club," he told Rolling Stone in 2022.

"That's on top of the fans, but the most important part is your peers want you there. That says a lot after a lifetime of work and a lifetime of writing and touring. When the club says, "We want you in," that's very cool. I was the kid that was a fan to practically everyone in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. To go from fan to in it ... they let the fan in the club. Can you imagine?"

And more accolades came his way when he was named the recipient of the Icon award at the 2022 American Music Awards. Also, Richie continues to be a judge on American Idol.
