Urban returns to the road

Monday, November 22, 2010 – Keith Urban is set to return to the road next summer with a U.S. tour that will debut in Mobile, Ala. on June 16, 2011. "Get Closer 2011 World Tour" will have an all-new stage production.

"Get Closer 2011 World Tour" will make stops in Nashville, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, Washington DC, amongst other locations.

"Playing live is what it's always been about for me," said Urban. It's creating in the moment, it's the joy, the electricity, the unexpected, the passion and the unknown journey that we're all taking together. I've always felt that the best live concert experiences tap into a deep need in all of us to feel a part of something...to belong. I'm bringing the big boom box and an arsenal of songs, and I can't wait to throw this party."

The tour comes in support of Urban's sixth studio CD "Get Closer," which was released this past week.

CD reviews for Keith Urban

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 - 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.

CD review - Graffiti U It's telling how two songs on Keith Urban's "Graffiti U" album chug along to a reggae beat because pop rhythms and non-country elements are the obvious inspirations for this collection.
