Kenny Chesney gets a little help from a friend, Keith Urban

Friday, December 21, 2007 – Kenny Chesney will get a little help from a friend when he gets the road next summer on his annual stadium tour - Keith Urban.

Chesney announced Friday that Urban would join him for the July 26 date in Foxboro, Mass., followed probably by about eight other stadium shows on the 2008 Poets & Pirates Tour.

Chesney first took Keith Urban out on his Guitars, Tiki Bars & A Whole Lotta Love Tour three years ago.

"Which is why I'm glad I have the ability to play stadiums," said Chesney. "It's the only way that it would make sense for Keith where he is in my career to be able to come out and do some shows with us. We couldn't do this anywhere else... and it's something I've wanted to do since he played the first stadiums shows with us three years ago."

"If you're committed to bringing the fans the best show possible," Chesney says, "who else would you call? Keith does it all - and for me, he's someone I've spent time in the islands with, toured the country with, laughed with, hung with, made music with. It's gonna be as much fun backstage when we're not rocking as it is onstage - and that's saying something."

"What Kenny's stadium concerts are, is the biggest party you've ever been to with the loudest ghetto blaster you've ever heard and the audience still singing louder than us," said Urban. "Me I'm just a kid like 65,000 others that are going to run away with the circus this summer. Bring it on Kenny."

The tour also will feature LeAnn Rimes as an opening act.

CD reviews

CD review - High Following hits "Straight Line," "Wildside" and "Go Home W U" featuring Lainey Wilson, Keith Urban drops thematically driven and pleasantly electrifying album "High," a nearly four-year drop since 2020's "The Speed of Now Part 1." Urban took great interest in feelings and experiences associated with the word "high," reflecting on his own passions approaching the sensation or "place of utopia" as Urban dubs it . ...
CD review - Here and Now deluxe After a storied run including eight Entertainer of the Year awards and two Greatest Hits albums (so far), Kenny Chesney was due for a setback. This one wasn't strictly personal, as the "Chillaxification" Tour got waylaid by a pandemic shutdown that scrapped most everything. The loss really belonged to the fans, as the original "Here and Now" record Chesney was supporting was a beauty – from the stirring "Knowing You" to the snarky "Wasted", ...
CD review - THE SPEED OF NOW Part 1 It's getting tougher and tougher all the time to justify categorizing Keith Urban's music as country. "The Speed of Now, Pt. 1" doesn't help. (What, is there a pt. 2 of this largely lame music on the way? Say it ain't so!) It's a relatively good pop album, for a Nashville pop effort, but there's just too much real country (Jon Pardi, Luke Combs) getting played on mainstream radio these days. The world just doesn't really need new Urban pop music. ...
