Coming live in 2009, Keith Urban

Monday, December 1, 2008 – Keith Urban will hit the road in 2009 with supporting acts including Sugarland, Taylor Swift, Dierks Bentley, Glen Campbell, Lady Antebellum and The Zac Brown Band. The upcoming tour, which will kick off in May, comes following the release of his as yet untitled, fifth studio recording due March 31.

No specific dates were announced. Tickets will go on sale early next year for the tour that will likely extend through the summer. "We intend to give people their money's worth, for sure" said Urban. "We're looking forward to seeing fans' reactions to the new material, and we're seeing how we can put a few new twists on some older material. We'll play for as long as the venues will let us."

Keith recently released a new single, Sweet Thing. His live concert DVD, "Love, Pain & the whole crazy World Tour," is currently available exclusively at all Wal-Mart stores.
