Stevie Wonder Announces 10-Date U.S. Tour This October
Stevie Wonder has revealed plans for a 10-date U.S. tour this October, just ahead of the presidential election. Titled “Sing Your Song! As We Fix Our Nation’s Broken Heart,” the tour shares its name with his latest single.
The announcement describes the tour as a call for “joy over anger, kindness over recrimination, peace over war.” Additionally, “as a special thank you,” a select number of complimentary tickets will be available “to those in our communities who are already working tirelessly to fix our nation’s broken heart.”
Produced by Wonder Productions and promoted by AEG Presents in collaboration with Free Lunch, the “Sing Your Song! As We Fix Our Nation’s Broken Heart” tour kicks off Tuesday, October 8 at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, PA. It includes stops in New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Greensboro, Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis, concluding on Wednesday, October 30 at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, MI.
Wonder has been full of surprises lately. His newest single, “Can We Fix Our Nation’s Broken Heart,” was released unexpectedly last month, his first solo track since 2020’s “Can’t Put It in the Hands of Fate.”
Fans had been wondering if Stevie Wonder would ever tour again, and the news sparked celebration on Reddit. One user commented, “I would absolutely kill to see Stevie live. He has a few dates around where I’m at.” Another said, “I’ve gone to three of his concerts in different cities, and they’re all great times.” They added, “Obviously, sitting in the nosebleeds is as good as on the floor since he isn’t moving or anything.” Another user joked, “Stevie Wonder is running for president? Good for him.”
The last time Stevie Wonder toured was for “The Stevie Wonder Song Party: A Celebration of Life, Love & Music,” in 2018 which hit four cities: Las Vegas, Atlantic City, National Harbor, and Springfield.
Born Stevland Hardaway Judkins in 1950, Wonder grew up in Saginaw, Michigan, about 100 miles from Detroit. He was just 11 when Motown signed him in 1961.
Wonder has earned 25 Grammy Awards, been inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, won the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and played a pivotal role in establishing Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday as a federal holiday.
He is known for numerous hits, including “I Just Called to Say I Love You,” “I Wish,” “Sir Duke,” “Higher Ground,” “Superstition,” and “Isn’t She Lovely.”
