Who is Alicia Keys?
Alicia Keys is the American singer, songwriter and producer who combines classical piano training with R&B, soul and hip-hop. Her 2001 debut album Songs in A Minor and the single Fallin' made her known worldwide almost overnight. No One, If I Ain't Got You, Girl on Fire and Empire State of Mind, recorded with JAY-Z, are among her best-known songs.
Keys' concerts pair intimate moments at the piano with a full band, dancers and a light show. Beyond arena tours she also performs at festivals and special events. Confirm current dates in the live FlyVentis records below.

The right seat for the piano moments
The slow sections Keys sings at the piano are the moments when the audience falls silent. To hear their detail, the centre line of the venue and the middle blocks of the lower tier offer a good balance. In side blocks very close to the stage, the position of the piano can restrict the view.
Check the stage layout and view notes on the seating plan. See the arena ticket categories guide for category differences.
Arena, festival and special events
Alicia Keys can appear on her own tour, at a summer festival or at a gala or charity event. Festival and special-event sets can be short. Before planning a long trip, read the event type, stage time and ticket scope.

Alicia Keys upcoming dates
What to expect from the setlist
Concerts usually include hits such as Fallin', No One, If I Ain't Got You, Girl on Fire and Empire State of Mind. Keys sometimes rearranges songs at the piano and builds medleys, so hearing a song differ from its album version is normal.
What to know before you go
- The venue goes quiet during piano sections; silence your phone.
- Centre-line seats are an advantage for sound balance.
- Festival stage times can change; check on the day.
- Keep your mobile ticket available offline.
How to plan travel around the concert
Secure the ticket before booking flights or accommodation. Aim to arrive at least a day before the show and stay 20–30 minutes from the venue on a direct public transport line; a same-day flight that runs late can mean missing the concert.
If the tour has several stops, compare the combined cost of ticket, flights and two nights' stay across cities rather than the ticket price alone.
Keep planning
