Alicia Keys concert chronology

Background edit

Keys announced her forthcoming tour in December 2009, shortly after the release of her fourth studio album. During the same time, Keys was named R&B/Hip-Hop Artist of the Decade by Billboard magazine.[3] When describing the tour, Keys mentions,[3]

The show is, obviously, always focused around music; that's what is always my main focus. When we first start putting it all together, it all starts at the music, and then it's what story that I want to tell and kind of what energy I want to give off. There's going to be something for everyone in this show because that's who I am, I am a person who feels things from all different angles and directions, and I'm going to express it that way ... and that's how I arm-wrestle people who are close-minded.
