Songs In The Key Of Life arrived in September 1976 as a double album with a bonus EP, 21 tracks of it, and it remains the high-water mark of one of the great runs in recorded music.
Played in sequence it takes in ‘Love’s In Need Of Love Today’, ‘Village Ghetto Land’, ‘Sir Duke’, ‘I Wish’, ‘Pastime Paradise’, ‘Isn’t She Lovely’, ‘As’ and ‘Another Star’.
Wonder has performed the record in full before, on a run of shows in the mid-2010s, and those were widely reported as career-best nights. At 76, with 25 Grammys behind him, this is not a nostalgia exercise so much as a victory lap he has more than earned.
The Dublin show sits alongside four UK dates:
- Tuesday October 13th, Utilita Arena, Birmingham
- Sunday November 1st, 3Arena, Dublin
- Tuesday November 3rd, The O2, London
- Sunday November 8th, Co-op Live, Manchester
- Wednesday November 11th, OVO Hydro, Glasgow
The tour is promoted by Live Nation and MCD and produced by Wonder Productions.
