The Grammy Award-winning artist was announced for the summer concert season on 8 September and will be performing with special guest John Legend on Saturday 7 December.
The pair will be performing with a yet-to-be-announced opening act at the Healesville winery, and tickets are set to go on sale on Friday 20 September.
Ms Key’s Australian shows will mark the final leg to her Set the World on Fire world tour which coincides with her latest album, Girl on Fire.

Food will be available on site, though visitors are welcome to bring picnic supplies.
General admission audience members are encouraged to bring their own chairs or rugs for the concert.
