Rolling Stone reports that Stevie Wonder has announced plans to take his classic 1976 album Songs in the Key of Life on the road this coming November.
Wonder will set off on an 11-date arena tour that spans across the entire country (with one stop in Canada), running from New York City's Madison Square Garden all the way to Oakland, CA's Oracle Arena. The tour will kick off on Nov. 6 and end on Dec. 5 just before the holiday season.
Those interested can purchase tickets this coming Sept. 22 when they go on sale.
RS notes that the legendary pianist performed all of the record's 21 tracks for the first time in it's entirety this past December at House Full of Toys, his annual benefit concert that takes place in Los Angeles.
Though the tour will feature the entire album, Wonder claims that the track listing will not go in the order it appears on the record. He told the publication, "The only difference to the actual layout of Songs in the Key of Life is, as opposed to ending with the songs 'All Day Sucker' and 'My Mama's Call,' I'm going to end it with 'Another Star,' because I feel that song is the right one to do."
He added, "Now, we're going to put the other two songs that were on the EP in the presentation as well, so they'll be probably the first two extra songs after the first part of Songs in the Key of Life, which are 'Saturn' and 'Ebony Eyes.'
