Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind and Fire are out on another leg of their popular co-headlining tour, and they’re headed to Orlando this week. The soul and funk titans are sharing stages until mid-August, and though things got off to a bumpy start with Richie falling ill — hello, he’s back and those canceled shows have been rescheduled.

Which is exceedingly good news for students of pop music; Richie’s setlist in particular is a masterclass that ranges up and down his career, from “Easy” to “Brick House” to “Three Times a Lady” to “Lady,” performed as a virtual duet with Kenny Rogers (WTF). For the truly funky.

7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 25, Kia Center, 400 W. Church St., kiacenter.com, $33-$251.
