Stevie Wonder will celebrate his landmark 1976 LP Songs In The Key of Life this fall. The acclaimed musician will honor the seminal release by performing the record in its entirety throughout the Songs In The Key of Life Performances – 50th Anniversary Tour. The 18-date run will open at Birmingham, U.K.’s Utilita Arena on October 13 and come to a close at Los Angeles’ Intuit Dome on December 19. He will tour throughout Europe and the United States along the way.
A statement announcing the run explained, “At a time when the world continues to search for connection, healing and joy, the messages at the heart of Songs in the Key of Life feel as urgent and necessary today as they did in 1976. “Songs like ‘As,’ ‘Love’s in Need of Love Today,’ ‘Sir Duke’ and ‘Isn’t She Lovely’ remain woven into the emotional fabric of generations around the world, reminding audiences not only where they’ve been, but who they are.”
In 2014, Wonder performed Songs in the Key of Life in its entirety on the road. After playing the album in full, he encored with “Superstition” each night.
