Stevie Wonder Announces 18-Date ‘Songs in the Key of Life’ 50th Anniversary World Tour

Stevie Wonder will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Songs in the Key of Life with an 18-date international tour this fall, performing the landmark 1976 album in its entirety at arenas and theaters across Europe, the UK, Ireland and the United States.

The Songs in the Key of Life Performances – 50th Anniversary Tour begins Oct. 13 at Utilita Arena Birmingham before moving through Paris, Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Hannover, Cologne, Amsterdam, Dublin, London, Manchester and Glasgow. A six-show U.S. leg follows beginning Nov. 19 at Madison Square Garden in New York and ending Dec. 19 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif.

The tour is promoted by Live Nation and produced by Wonder Productions, Inc. Live Nation formally unveiled the broader run Tuesday.

Wonder will perform Songs in the Key of Life from beginning to end during the anniversary concerts. The album includes enduring tracks including “Sir Duke,” “Isn’t She Lovely,” “As” and “Love’s in Need of Love Today.”

Released in 1976, Songs in the Key of Life earned Wonder his third Grammy Award for Album of the Year. The record was later certified Diamond in the U.S. for more than 10 million units and inducted into the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry.

The anniversary tour will also bring Wonder back to several markets he visited during his Love, Light & Song run in 2025. That tour included performances at Manchester’s Co-op Live and Birmingham’s Utilita Arena before Wonder headlined BST Hyde Park in London.

Remaining tickets are scheduled for general sale Friday, Sept. 11 at 10 a.m. local time. Individual Live Nation market pages show additional presales in some cities beginning Sept. 10.

The U.S. schedule operates on a different timetable. Tickets for New York, Chicago, Washington and the Los Angeles-area Intuit Dome show are scheduled for general sale Thursday, Sept. 10 at 10 a.m. local time. Madison Square Garden and Ticketmaster currently list that onsale for the New York performance, while Chicago and Inglewood show the same local-time schedule.

Detroit is the exception. Tickets for Wonder’s Dec. 8 and 9 hometown performances at the Fox Theatre will go on sale Tuesday, Sept. 15 at 10 a.m. ET through 313 Presents, Live Nation and Ticketmaster.

The two-night Detroit stop is also the only city on the initial itinerary receiving consecutive performances. After those shows, Wonder will take a 10-day break before closing the announced tour Dec. 19 at Intuit Dome.

The tour marks a return to an album Wonder has previously built major live performances around, but the 2026 run is specifically timed to the record’s 50th anniversary. With the complete album promised each night, the shows will put one of Wonder’s most celebrated recordings at the center of his first announced large-scale international tour of the year.
