The once-in-a-lifetime performance will air on December 1st
Alicia Keys will celebrate the 20th anniversary of her multi-platinum, Grammy-winning and chart-topping sophomore album that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts, The Diary Of Alicia Keys, on Friday, December 1st. On that night, she’ll perform the entire record from top to bottom at an intimate, once-in-a-lifetime anniversary concert at New York City’s Webster Hall. Fans who can’t make it in person to the sold-out performance won’t be left out. Premier streaming platform Veeps will broadcast the show live.
Alicia Keys: Live at Webster Hall will be available for free for Veeps All Access subscribers or fans can buy an individual show ticket for $14.99 on veeps.com. The show will air live on Veeps on Friday, December 1, 2023, at approximately 9 pm ET. The stream will be exclusive to Veeps for one month and available on the platform for one year after the air date, with a ten-day rewatch period for individual ticket purchasers.
Keys kicks off the celebration of this milestone with the digital release of The Diary of Alicia Keys 20. Out on Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, the album features nine bonus tracks including “Golden Child,” a previously unreleased rarity from Alicia’s personal vault, available in 360RA and Dolby Atmos.
First released on December 2, 2003, on J Records, The Diary of Alicia Keys, the artist’s much-anticipated second album, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with the best first week’s sales for a female artist that year. A formidable successor to her blockbuster debut (2001’s multi-platinum Songs In A Minor entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1 before winning Alicia an unprecedented five Grammy Awards including Best New Artist), The Diary of Alicia Keys became her second successive No. 1 album, generating three Top 10 singles — “You Don’t Know My Name,” “If I Ain’t Got You” and “Diary” — while adding three new Grammy Awards — Best R&B Album, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance (“If I Ain’t Got You”) and Best R&B Song (“You Don’t Know My Name”) — to her career total. The album has sold more than five million copies in the United States and more than eight million worldwide.
A portion of the price of each ticket to the stream will be donated to Keep A Child Alive (KCA.) Co-founded by Alicia Keys in 2003, KCA is dedicated to championing the rights of children worldwide.
