Alicia Keys Announces ‘Keys to the Summer Tour’ Dates

Courtesy of Live Nation

Alicia Keys will be playing on a lot more stages this year. The award-winning singer/songwriter has unveiled the dates for her headlining  Keys to the Summer Tour . 

The North American leg kicks off June 28 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. From there, Keys will perform in major cities, including Tampa, Charlotte, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., New York, Toronto, Chicago and Dallas. Keys will conclude the North American leg on Aug. 2 in Los Angeles, California. 

For the first time ever, the tour will feature Keys in a 360-degree, “in the round production setup, which “will allow fans to experience her live performance in an entirely new and exhilarating way.”

“The KEYS TO THE SUMMER TOUR is going to be completely unforgettable and unmissable! I describe it as a celebration of freedom and self-liberation,” says Keys. “It’s going to be colorful, magical and will light up your body, soul and all of your senses! This is my first time creating a 360 experience and we’ve made sure it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen! I’m so excited to see y’all this summer!”

Presale tickets are available now through Thursday, April 20. Spotify, Live Nation, Ticketmaster and venue presales begin Thursday, April 20, at 10 a.m. local time. General on-sale begins Friday, April 21, at 9 a.m. local time.

Keys’ tour announcement comes just before she launches the Latin America leg of her Alicia + Keys World Tour . It begins May 3 in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, and will conclude May 19 in Guadalajara, Mexico.

“Latin America Fam!! This is finally happening,” Keys wrote in an Instagram caption . “I’ve been dreaming about this and you’ve been asking about this!! We had to make it happen!!!”

Keys launched the North American leg and U.K./European leg in 2022.

Keys’ tours have been in support of her latest albums  ALICIA   (2020) and  KEYS   (2021). The former album debuted at No. 4 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart with 62,000 equivalent units in the first week. 

In August 2022, she released  KEYS II , an expanded edition of her double album, KEYS.  Both versions of the album include her current hit “ Come For Me ,” featuring Khalid and Lucky Daye, which entered the top 10 at R&B radio this week. 

KEYS  consists of an Originals side with compositions that lean into Keys’ signature sound and an Unlocked side with remixed versions of the tracks. 

“It speaks so much to just like there being no limits, which is what  KEYS  is all about,” Keys told  Rated R&B  about the Unlocked side. “It was all about imagining and dreaming in a way that just opened up the possibilities.”

Keys also shared the inspiration behind her latest album. “It is an invitation for all of us to show up to ourselves and not hold back any part of ourselves,” she explained . “I think a lot of us oftentimes feel like we have to dim it down and small it down. No, I refuse it anymore. I invite us all to refuse it because there’s a power and a special energy that we all have.”

“The Keys to the Summer tour is going to be completely unforgettable and unmissable,” Keys shared in a statement. “I describe it as a celebration of freedom and self-liberation! It’s going to be colorful, magical and will light up your body, soul and all of your senses! This is my first time creating a 360 experience and we’ve made sure it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen! I’m so excited to see y’all this summer!”

DJ Akademiks Sued for Rape and Defamation

J.k. rowling used to want to debate gender. now she just insults trans people, detroit newspaper mourns 'tortured existence' of eminem's slim shady in obituary, the number one song in the country is a diss track. is that a good thing.

The Keys to the Summer tour marks the singer’s return to North America just under a year after she wrapped the second leg of the Alicia + Keys world tour in support of her seventh and eighth studio albums Alicia and Keys , released in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Before then, she hadn’t been on an official tour since 2013’s Set the World on Fire tour. Now, it seems, Keys is making up for lost time.

Alicia keys is soulful and sensational, she can get the crowd on their feet and she can also get them sat down listening as she hits every note perfectly as she hammers out her beautiful ballads. You may think you don't know many of her songs but tune after tune you scream " I know this song". As much as she is a soulful singer she can also play the piano thrashing them keys to make the songs come alive and wow does she make a party swing. We all have our favourite songs but mine has got to be "one" although not accompanied by U2 it still sounds awesome with her backing singers. Her dancers are hot and sassy and that is just the men but she has fun with her dancers and although not one to chat for ever during her set she does interact with the crowd.

Towards the end of her set when she sang Empire State of mind / New York the roof lifted ... So tickets were reasonable priced, the set was long and the quality of the artist was spot on.... Don't miss out next time Alicia tours - you won't be disappointed.

Inside Missy Elliott’s first headlining tour, with Busta Rhymes, Ciara and Timbaland

• Copy Link copied

LOS ANGELES (AP) — At a 24,000-square-foot studio near downtown Los Angeles, Missy Elliott , Busta Rhymes and Ciara are preparing to film the video announcement for a tour no one saw coming.

This summer, the trio — along with legendary producer Timbaland — will hit the road for Elliott’s first headlining arena tour, appropriately titled “Out of This World — The Missy Elliott Experience.”

“Listen, I didn’t realize I never had my own tour,” says a smiling Elliott, holding her tiny Yorkie, named Fendi, dressed in Gucci. “The last real tour that I went on — like, consistent days — was with Beyoncé and Alicia (Keys).”

That was in 2004.

Call it long overdue, but the timing is ideal. Over the last few years, Elliott — the forward-seeking artist — has been recognized for her talents as a musician, producer, songwriter and beyond .

In 2019, she became the first female rapper inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the MTV Video Music Awards. In 2021, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2022, her hometown of Portsmouth, Virginia, named a boulevard after her. Last year, she became the first female hip-hop artist inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

“Getting those accolades, I feel like I’ve finally made it,” Elliott says. “It feels amazing. I feel so blessed.”

“What we’re seeing now is kind of the rest of the world catching up,” says Mona Scott-Young, Elliott’s longtime manager and co-producer of the tour. “She’s always been ahead.”

In his green room, Busta Rhymes tells the AP that a tour had never come up in conversation across his decades of friendship and collaboration with Elliott. (He’s the intro and outro voice on her canonical debut album, 1997’s “Supa Dupa Fly.” They’ve long since been inseparable.)

“She doesn’t really tour and she doesn’t perform often. I just kind of understood my sister — the unspoken thing,” he says. “You knew that if she decided to do this, go to the place where she was actually ready to tour, the s--- was going to be crazy because one thing Missy never did was play with her production. And you saw that in everything she did, from her shows to her videos.”

He continued: “Missy will turn down $10 million to do a show. … She’s super in control of her destiny in that way, and without compromise, is what made her super incredibly great. You can’t do nothing but love her for that. She’s a true artist in the purest form of the word.”

And make no mistake, this isn’t a nostalgia tour.

“We are in the best spaces in our lives, individually and collectively, we’re at the most experienced spaces in our lives,” Rhymes says. “We’re no longer Daniel-san. We’re now all Mr. Miyagi senseis. You know what I’m saying? We’re all at our perfection levels of what we’ve been doing and building together as a collective family for 30 years.”

Elliott echoed the sentiment.

“The lineup feels something special,” says Elliott. “It’s family. It’s not put together.”

On set, the trio are styled by longtime collaborator June Ambrose — all-black looks, like if the Avengers were impeccably dressed and made up of R&B and hip-hop legends. They take photos as a group and individually.

After her solo photo shoot, Ciara starts to tear up.

“When I was a little girl, a little artist coming up, and you would ask me, ‘Who inspires you?’ I would infuse a combination of people: Michael Jackson and Prince and I would say Missy Elliott. She’s one of the best performers of all time,” she said.

“She means a lot to me as an artist but also as a person, as a sister. She’s always someone I can call for the truth, and she’s got to keep it real with me. She’s someone I can call and cry to if I need to.”

But ask her if there will be any on-stage collaborations — Elliott wrote and was featured on Ciara’s huge hit “1, 2 Step”; Ciara’s on Elliott’s “Lose Control” — she laughs. “Missy’s very particular. I don’t want to ruin any surprises,” she says. “I think from beginning to end, people will be on their feet. All of us have a lot of energetic records.”

“Somebody’s gonna die!” Rhymes jokes.

“And come back to life,” Ciara cuts in.

“Let’s keep it positive,” Rhymes laughs. “Someone is gonna die and come back to life.”

Later, Elliott offers a hint at what fans can expect from the show. “It’s an experience, it’s not just you seeing the artist on the stage,” she says. “I want people to travel to those moments, those (music) videos , I want you to relive it on stage. It is most definitely a lot of good, good stuff. Expensive stuff!”

The “Out of This World — The Missy Elliott Experience” kicks off in Vancouver, British Columbia, on July 4 at Rogers Arena and concludes in Rosemont, Illinois, at Allstate Arena on Aug. 22.

It will hit Seattle; Oakland, California; Los Angeles; Las Vegas; Denver; Austin, Texas; Houston; Fort Worth, Texas; Tampa, Florida; Sunrise, Florida; Atlanta; Baltimore; Hampton, Virginia; Philadelphia; Washington, D.C.; Newark, New Jersey; Boston; Brooklyn, New York; Detroit; Montreal and Toronto.

The tour is produced by Young’s Monami Entertainment and Live Nation. Presale begins tomorrow , and tickets will become available to the general public on Friday.
