Keith Urban to perform at Grandstand Arena
– Keith Urban has spent the better part of his life harnessing a deep-seated passion for music. This, when combined with his authenticity, talent and driving musical inquisitiveness, helps to understand why he is one of the most successful and well-respected artists in the world. He’s won four Grammy Awards, thirteen CMAs (including 2x Entertainer of the Year), fifteen ACMs, three AMAs, two People’s Choice Awards and celebrated nine consecutive gold, platinum or multi-platinum albums, which have produced more than 10 BILLION streams.
Late last year Keith Urban released HIGH, his 11th solo album. He’s described it as a “musical journey, intentionally sequenced through themes of what it is to be alive, human connection, cutting loose, huge hook chorus’, hope, nostalgia, shredding solos, straight-up fun and with some personal life revelations.” Songs from HIGH debuted in January ’24 with the release of “Straight Line,” the album’s current single, “Messed Up As Me,” “Go Home W U” with Lainey Wilson and “Wildside.” Not long after, Urban announced his High and Alive World Tour, set to get underway in May, with concerts throughout the United States, Canada and Australia.
Urban consistently reminds music lovers around the globe why he is one of the world’s best live performers. His concerts have become legendary – as unpredictable as they are explosive. An experience of emotion, musical texture, energy and showmanship.
