Alright, music lovers, this one is special. Stevie Wonder just announced he's taking his legendary 1976 album, Songs in the Key of Life, on the road for a full 50th anniversary tour. And we're not talking about a few hits here and there. He's performing the entire album, from front to back, live. For anyone who grew up with these songs, or who has discovered them through the generations, this is about as close to a musical time machine as it gets.
The tour kicks off October 13 in Birmingham, UK, and makes its way through Europe before landing in the US for some pretty iconic stops. We're talking Madison Square Garden in New York, the United Center in Chicago, and a homecoming of sorts in Detroit, where Stevie's story really began. Los Angeles gets in on the action too with a show at the Intuit Dome. It's an intimate run of just 18 dates, so these are going to be hot tickets. If you've ever wanted to hear 'Isn't She Lovely' or 'Sir Duke' live with the man himself on stage, this is your moment.
Now, the practical stuff. US tickets go on sale Wednesday, September 10 at 10 a.m. local time, except Detroit, which waits until September 15. UK and European fans can grab theirs starting September 11. Given the album's place in music history, expect these to move fast. This is one of those rare concerts that feels like a cultural event, not just another show on the calendar.
