Urban goes north
The High and Alive World Tour kicks off June 21 in Toronto before returning in September for seven more shows. Chase Matthew, Alana Springsteen and Karley Scott Collins will open.
"Playing live is what I live to do," said Urban. "Looking out from a stage and seeing people singing, forgetting about all the stress in their lives, cutting loose, and feeling alive - that's what it's about for me. Lots of hits, new songs, things we won't even think about until we're onstage - and loads of guitar. We're gonna make this tour the best night of your life."
Urban is touring behind his 11th studio album, "High." He also will play the U.S. from May through October.
Tour dates are:
June 21 Toronto – Budweiser Stage
Sept. 10 Vancouver - Rogers Arena
Sept. 12 Calgary - Scotiabank Saddledome
Sept. 13 Regina - Brandt Centre
Sept. 15 Saskatoon - SaskTel Centre
Sept. 16 Winnipeg - Canada Life Centre
Sept. 19 Montreal - Bell Centre
Sept. 20 Ottawa - Canadian Tire Centre

CD reviews for Keith Urban
Keith Urban's "flow state" is the perfect album to start the summer. The 11-track album contains mainly yacht rock covers that are perfect to listen to while on the beach or out at sea, with covers like "How Much I Feel," by Ambrosia, and "Just The Two Of Us," by Bill Withers and Grover Washington, Jr., entering the mix.
"flow state" is different, incorporating a new wave of instrumentals that add a uniqueness to each track alongside Urban's vocals. ...
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 . ...
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. ...
