ALICIA KEYS ANNOUCES LONG-AWAITED RETURN TO TOURING WITH “ALICIA – THE WORLD TOUR” AT MICHIGAN LOTTERY AMPHITHEATRE AUGUST 18

(DETROIT – January 21, 2020) – Today global music icon and 15-time Grammy® Award-winner Alicia Keys announced “ALICIA – The World Tour,” her highly anticipated return to the stage. Keys will bring her repertoire of worldwide hits to iconic venues across North America and Europe, including a stop at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre as part of the Fifth Third Bank Concert Series on Tuesday, August 18 at 8 p.m. 

Tickets (starting at $39.95 on the lawn) go on sale Monday, January 27 at 10 a.m. To purchase tickets in the Crest Ford pavilion, Ford Motor Company luxury seats and on the lawn, visit 313Presents.com,  LiveNation.com and Little Caesars Arena XFINITY box office or Ticketmaster.com. 

The tour announcement comes fresh off Keys’ exciting news to fans last night that her forthcoming seventh studio album ALICIA is set to be released worldwide on March 20, via RCA Records. Keys also gave fans a first-look at the album’s stunning artwork. Pre-sale for the album is set for Friday, January 24, in celebration of Alicia’s birthday on January 25.

Keys released the anthemic “Underdog,” the album’s new single, earlier this month to critical acclaim (“A be-jewelled slice of pop-soul with a gently euphoric feel” – Clash).  The track became the most added song at US top 40 radio upon its release. Previously released singles include “Time Machine” and “Show Me Love,” which earned Keys a record-extending 11^th number 1 on the Billboard Adult R&B Songs airplay chart. 

In addition to new music, Keys will be bringing her classics - from “No One” to “If I Ain’t Got You” to “Girl on Fire” - to life in a special multi-media, artistic experience on the “ALICIA – The World Tour” stage each night. A meditation on love and life, the show will be a true celebration, filled with the magnetic energy that only live music can create.

American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets to the tour before the general public, beginning Wednesday, January 22 at 10 a.m. local time until Sunday, January 26 at 10 p.m. local time in the US. The AMEX pre-sale will run for 48 hours for dates in Europe. 

Keys will be returning to host the Grammy® Awards on Sunday, January 26, airing on CBS.  She will release her book More Myself on March 31, via Flatiron Publishing.
