Today global music icon and 15-time GRAMMY Award winner Alicia Keys announced ALICIA – THE WORLD TOUR, her highly anticipated return to the stage. Keys will bring her repertoire of worldwide hits to iconic venues across North America and Europe, including a stop at the legendary Radio City Music Hall in Key’s hometown of New York City. The celebrated singer/songwriter/producer will visit major cities on both continents including London, Paris, Berlin, Atlanta, Toronto, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and more on the tour produced by Live Nation.
The tour announcement comes fresh off Keys’ exciting
news to fans last night that her forthcoming seventh studio album ALICIA
is set to be released worldwide on March 20, via RCA Records. Keys also gave
fans a first-look at the album’s stunning artwork. Pre-sale for the album is
set for Friday, January 24, in celebration of Alicia’s birthday on January 25.
Keys released the anthemic “Underdog,” the album’s new single, earlier
this month to critical acclaim (“A be-jewelled slice of pop-soul with a gently
euphoric feel” – Clash). The
track became the most added song at US top 40 radio upon its release.
Previously released singles include “Time Machine” and “Show Me Love,” which earned
Keys a record-extending 11th number 1 on the Billboard Adult R&B
Songs airplay chart.
In addition to new music, Keys will
be bringing her classics – from “No One” to “If I Ain’t
Got You” to “Girl on Fire” – to life in a special multi-media, artistic
experience on the ALICIA – THE WORLD TOUR stage each night. A meditation
on love and life, the show will be a true celebration, filled with the magnetic
energy that only live music can create.
American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets to the tour before the general public, beginning Wednesday, January 22nd at 10am local time until Sunday, January 26th at 10pm local time across Europe and the US (timings may vary in Europe). Tickets go on sale to the general public on Monday, January 27th from 9am local time.
Keys will be returning to host the Grammy Awards on
Sunday, January 26th, airing on CBS.
She will release her book More Myself on March 31, via Flatiron
Publishing.
