While the longtime musician’s setlist also includes favorites such as “Fallin,” “A Woman’s Worth,” and “My Boo,” fans can expect to see Keys perform for the first time in a 360-degree “in the round” production setup.
The new tour concept was done in collaboration with creative director Diane Martel (who directed theMiley Cyrus Bangerz tour)and production designer Chiara Stephenson, who previously worked on tours forLordeandBjork.
Speaking about her new approach to music,Keys shared with PEOPLEin July, “Early in my career, I was doing everything to please everyone. I thought I had to be perfect. Over time, I’ve freed myself of those impositions. I realized that while I may have adopted them, I don’t want them. Now it’s about what I want, how I want to express myself, and my own intentions! I get to choose (and so do you!).”
