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.
