Keith Urban Kicks Off New Tour In Canada

“The Raise Em Up Tour will be a complete build from the sky down,” said Urban. “New staging, new production, a lot more songs from FUSE that the fans have been requesting, a different mix of previous hits, and some rarities from past albums that we haven't played in a while if ever!! And we'll be sharing the stage with Brett (Eldredge) and Jerrod (Niemann) both with killer new albums!!!!!”

The “Raise ‘Em Up” Tour kicks off on July 12th in Canada at the Calgary Stampede and will debut in the United States on Thursday, July 17th.  The 21-city Summer Tour crosses the country with concerts in cities including Boston, Hartford, St. Louis, Atlanta, Denver, and Sacramento before its close at the Washington State Fair on September 13th.

The six-time 2014 Academy of Country Music nominee, who will perform on the show on April 6th, has been in Los Angeles filming the 13th season of American Idol.  He will headline The iTunes Music Festival in Austin this Saturday, March 15th.
