Grand Forks, N.D.- At a surprise pop-up show last night
in Nashville, Grammy Award winner Keith Urban announced his “GRAFFITI U WORLD
TOUR 2018” with special guest Kelsea Ballerini. He took the opportunity to
announce that his forthcoming album will be called GRAFFITI U.
The tour will kick off in June and will run through
November, making stops in 58 cities, including Grand Forks on Sunday, October
14th. Tickets will go on sale on January 26th at 10:00 AM
CST at ticketmaster.com, the arena box office or by phone at 1-800-745-3000.
“I’ve been full-on writing, recording, collaborating and
creating with some incredibly talented people for GRAFFITI U, a lot of whom
I’ve never worked with before” said Urban. “I can hear how some of the songs
will translate live already, which really makes putting on a new show so
exhilarating and I loved having our fans included in the announcement of the
tour because it’s their tour too.”
“I remember hearing Keith Urban songs that stopped me in
my tracks and made me want to drop everything and chase that kind of lyric and
heart-filled artistry” says Ballerini. “He’s the best in the business and
I can’t wait to fangirl and learn from him this year. Truly an honor to tour
with him.”
Urban’s tour announcements have become events unto
themselves, last night’s yet another in a line of conceptual tour announcements
that have included production and performance previews, as well as comedic
videos that have been copies since.
