23.06.2026 - 01:56:19 | ad-hoc-news.de
Alicia Keys takes her Keys to the Summer experience back to the arenas in 2026 with a new European leg. The tour, first launched in North America with an in-the-round 360-degree stage, now includes shows in cities such as London, Paris and Berlin according to the official listings on Songkick.
New European dates for Keys to the Summer
The 2026 run of Keys to the Summer features large indoor arenas across Europe, with dates currently announced into the fall. Fans in London can expect Keys at The O2, while Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and Milan are also on the routing, per the tour overview on Songkick.
The 360-degree production, used on the earlier North American leg, places Keys in the center of the venue, giving fans in all sections a direct sightline. The concept follows the 2023 U.S. edition, which was reported as her most immersive staging to date by outlets such as Rolling Stone.
How the tour reaches U.S. fans
While the newly announced dates center on Europe, U.S. audiences experienced Keys to the Summer first, when the 2023 leg played arenas including Madison Square Garden in New York and the Kia Forum in Inglewood, as documented in contemporary tour reports from Rolling Stone. That run paired her classic hits with deeper cuts and newer material.
For American fans, the European extension underlines the tour’s longevity and global demand. It also keeps the catalog around Keys and Alicia visible internationally, even as Keys currently has no fresh U.S. dates posted beyond her festival and special-appearance commitments.
