Alicia Keys adds to the growing list of entertainers scheduling to keep fans outside this year. On Tuesday, April 18 the multiple Grammy Award-winning R&B crooner disclosed dates for the Keys To The Summer tour, set to kick off in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. on June 28.
In an official communique furnished to Live Nation, the 42-year-old vocalist described the tour as “going to be completely unforgettable and unmissable!”
The ‘Girl on Fire singer proceeded and spewed, “I describe it as a celebration of freedom and self-liberation! It’s going to be colourful, and 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!”
With 23 dates across North America, the ‘Empire State Of Mind’ performer has stops in Atlanta, Boston, New Orleans, Philadephia, Toronto, and Washington D.C., before closing on Aug. 2 at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif.
