Stevie Wonder plans first U.S. tour in a decade

Tour will include 13 concerts in eight states

LOS ANGELES - Stevie Wonder said Thursday that he will hold his first U.S. tour in more than a decade, beginning next month in San Diego.
A Wonder Summers Night will include 13 concerts from Aug. 23 to Sept. 20 in eight states. Stops in California will include San Diego, Lake Tahoe, Concord, Santa Barbara, Saratoga and Los Angeles. Other cities include Portland, Ore.; Woodinville, Wash.; Chicago; Detroit; Atlanta and Baltimore. The final concert will be in Boston.


Tickets will be available beginning Aug. 11. Ticket prices were not immediately released.

Although the 57-year-old has given numerous performances worldwide,
Wonders last full-scale tour in the United States was in 1995.

The Motown legend has won some two dozen Grammys and had dozens of hits. His song I Just Called to Say I Loved You, used in the movie The Woman in Red, won the Academy Award for best original song in 1985.


I wish he was coming to Orlando   I saw him back in the '80s and it was a great show!

Personally I wouldn't walk across the street to see him, even if it was free!  I have a problem with him.  He was born and raised here in Saginaw, but denied it for years and years.....always said Detroit was his hometown.  He never played a venue here in Saginaw until late 1980's....he came once and never came back.  After that show, he said Saginaw had nothing to offer him and he was sorry he even performed for his hometown fans.  furious

I hope he stays away!!

He first got his start here, in a place called Daniel's Den.  It was a local club where all the teenagers hung out back in the 60's.  I was too young at the time to go, but my uncle (9 yrs. older than me) used to go there every weekend.  He saw Little Stevie Wonder many times (before he signed with a label), along with people like Ted Nugent, Bob Segar, Grand Funk Railroad and many others.  I guess Daniel's Den gave a lot of different groups their start.......record producers (mainly from Detroit) used to go there a lot looking for up and coming artists. 

Later, Daniel's Den became an upscale restaurant, which later burned down back in the early '90's and was never re-built.  Wish I could've went there when it was still a club.  I missed some really great free shows there.

I don't know that I'd  pay to see Stevie, but I would be curious to see him perform - on TV or something. I'll admit I think he's talented, even though his later stuff didn't do anything for me.
