2009-01-05

Keith’s 2009 is already shaping up to be a busy one.  A brand new video for his recently released single “Sweet Thing” is due this month, an as of yet untitled new album is set for release on March 31st and now comes further details of Urban’s already announced intentions for a 2009 tour.  

Fifty-eight North American cities, including Nashville, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Toronto and Vancouver, will play host to Urban’s tour, which will kick off this May, and likely go through the summer and into the Fall. For play dates and further ticket information, fans should go to KeithUrban.net and/or stay tuned to their local Country radio station.

Critics have hailed Keith as “one of the best reasons in the world to attend a live concert” and have been quoted as saying that “fans would be hard-pressed to find a much better country — or rock — show anywhere.”
 
One supporting act, either Sugarland, Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean, Lady Antebellum, Dierks Bently, Glen Campbell or The Zac Brown Band will appear at each show.

I am so excited right now I could just about pee my pants, scream, jump up and down, and basically totally freak out.  There are so many shows I am close to, this could be a very very very expensive and totally amazing summer.  I need to start saving my money ASAP.  There is no where I’d rather be than watching Keith tear up that guitar.
