Keys, known for incorporating innovative and engaging production design into her live show, worked with director Diane Martel (“If I Ain’t Got You” and “Like You’ll Never See Me Again”) and designer Chiara Stephenson to design the consept and staging of the summer tour.
Keys says, “The Keys to the Summer Tour is going to be completely unforgettable and unmissable! I describe it as a celebration of freedom and self-liberation! It’s going to be colorful, 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!”
