Alicia Keys concert chronology

The Set the World on Fire Tour was the fifth concert tour by American recording artist Alicia Keys to promote her fifth studio album, Girl on Fire (2012). The tour ranked 22nd on Pollstar's annual "Top 100 Worldwide Tours – Year End". It earned nearly $44 million from 70/74 shows.[1]

Background

[edit]

Alicia Keys announced 6 UK and Ireland Arena dates following a performance on The X Factor. Tickets for the show went on sale on 23 November 2012 and almost immediately an extra date was added at The O2 Arena in London due to the high demand. The American leg of the tour was announced on 10 January 2013 and the pre-sale tickets went on sale on January 14. General sale tickets went on sale on January 18 and many of the dates sold-out within hours.

Critical reception

[edit]

In his review of the concert at Echo Arena in Liverpool, Ed Potton from The Times commented on Keys stage presence, writing "She can move, but her restrained shimmying contrasted with the exuberance of her dancers, like a slightly embarrassed older sister surrounded by her kid brother’s cheeky mates" but "that didn’t matter" on some songs, for example on "Fallin'", which Keys "finished with a one-woman vocal fanfare that brought the house down".[2]
