Stevie Wonder will perform a handful of shows this summer as part of a limited engagement concert series, "Stevie Wonder Song Party: A Celebration of Life, Love and Music."

The series launches with a five-night stand at the Park Theater at Park MGM in Las Vegas, August 3rd, 4th, 8th, 10th and 11th. Later that month, Wonder will play two shows in Atlantic City and two shows in National Harbor, Maryland. The short run wraps September 1st at MassMutual Center at MGM Springfield in Springfield, Massachusetts. Tickets go on sale via Ticketmaster May 21st at 10 a.m. PST.

Wonder teased the "Song Party" trek at a private concert in Los Angeles last week that also marked his 68th birthday. Per The Los Angeles Times, the show featured cameos from artists like Donald Glover and Kelly Rowland, while Wonder also said he hoped to release a new studio album, Through the Eyes of Wonder, later this year.

While Wonder hasn't embarked on a full-fledged tour since his 2015 and 2016 trek celebrating his 1976 classic, Songs in the Key of Life, he has played several festival sets over the past few years. In April, he appeared at the Equal Justice Initiative's Concert for Peace and Justice to mark the opening of the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and the Legacy Museum in Montgomery, Alabama.

Stevie Wonder concerts in 2018 aren't great shows beyond the "i'm glad I've seen him before he dies" factor

I love him, but yeah....

Kinda like he did for those pop-up shows on the east coast a few years back.

Get a really strong vocalist to bang out those lyrics when his voice get hoarse. He's coming off the bench (vocally) at his own shows at this point.

Saw him Sep 5, 2007 there and it was worth the $144.
