- Stevie Wonder is launching a 50th anniversary tour of "Songs in the Key of Life," performing the album in full across 17 dates from Oct. 13 through Dec. 19
- The tour kicks off Oct. 13 at Birmingham's Utilita Arena, with the U.S. leg opening Nov. 19 at New York's Madison Square Garden and closing Dec. 19 at Los Angeles's Intuit Dome
- Wonder will play two nights (Dec. 8 and 9) at Detroit's Fox Theatre, the city where Motown/Tamla Records — the label that housed his entire recording career — is based
- "Songs in the Key of Life" runs over 100 minutes including the Something's Extra EP, featuring classics "Sir Duke," "I Wish," and "As"
- General sale tickets through Ticketmaster sold out quickly, with resale available via StubHub, SeatGeek, VividSeats, and TicketNetwork
- Wonder previously toured the same album in full during 2014-2015, making this the second major tour dedicated to the record
Why it matters: For fans shut out of the general sale, resale marketplaces remain the only path to catch Wonder performing one of music's landmark double albums in full on its 50th anniversary. The two Detroit shows at the Fox Theatre carry added significance as a homecoming to Motown, where Wonder recorded his entire career.
