Stevie Wonder is taking one of music’s most revered albums back on the road.
The legendary performer has announced the ‘Songs In The Key of Life Performances – 50th Anniversary Tour,’ which will see him perform the landmark 1976 album in its entirety across the UK, Europe, and North America.
Full story below…
Launching October 13 in Birmingham, the trek will make its way through Paris, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Dublin, and more before returning to the UK for arena dates in London, Manchester, and Glasgow.
Thereafter, Wonder heads Stateside for shows in New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Detroit, and Los Angeles.
The celebration arrives during another especially active chapter for the 25-time GRAMMY winner.
As reported, the icon recently announced his first studio album in 22 years, ‘Through the Eyes of Wonder.’
News of the trek comes on the heels of his rousing BST Hyde Park performance last year, which TGJ witnessed first-hand.
Originally released in 1976, ‘Songs In The Key of Life’ houses classics including ‘Sir Duke,’ ‘Isn’t She Lovely,’ ‘As,’ and ‘Love’s in Need of Love Today.’ The Diamond-certified set also earned Wonder Album of the Year at the GRAMMYs.
Presales for Europe and the UK begin Wednesday, September 9 at 10am local time, with general sale commencing Friday, September 11 at 10am local time.
North American general sale begins Thursday, September 10 at 10am local time, excluding Detroit, which goes on sale Tuesday, September 15 at 10am local time. Local presales will vary by market.
