Signed, sealed, delivered—Stevie Wonder's on tour.
The Motown legend announced Thursday that he will embark on his first major trek in more than a decade later this month.
The A Wonder Summer's Night tour kicks off Aug. 23 at Humphries in San Diego and wraps up Sept. 20 at Boston's Bank of America Pavilion.
The 57-year-old crooner will make stops in 13 cities in all, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit and Atlanta. Tickets go on sale Aug. 11; prices have not yet been announced.
"I am looking forward to performing in these venues under the stars," Wonder said in a statement. "We are going to have some wonderful nights of intimate excitement."
The iconic performer has racked up a record-breaking 25 Grammy Awards over the course of his career, including a Lifetime Achievement Award, and also won an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1985 for "I Just Called to Say I Love You."
His most recent album, A Time to Love, was released in 2005 and debuted at number five on the charts.
Though he has not toured since 1995, Wonder has performed numerous one-off concerts worldwide in recent years, including an appearance on the fifth season of American Idol in 2006. He also participated in the Philadelphia leg of the Live 8 concerts in 2005.
