Keith Urban has announced 2022 North American tour dates as part of his first world tour in four years.

Ingrid Andress will join Urban to open “The Speed Of Now World Tour,” which kicks off on June 17 at Tampa, Florida. The tour is named after Urban’s 2020 album, The Speed of Now Part 1.

“I’ve always considered myself a live performer first,” Urban said in a statement. “It’s what I’ve always done, and it’s what my music needs to live and breathe. Our shows are all about living in the moment. They’re a totally interactive and immersive experience where everyone can participate in whatever way they want – sing, dance, do whatever.”

“Every night is the first time we’ve played these songs for that audience, in that moment,” the country music star continued. “It’s why every show is different – spontaneous and unpredictable – even for us. After two years we’re finally gonna get the chance to play some of the new songs we haven’t done live before. We’ll throw in a bunch of the songs that everyone comes to hear, a couple of which we’ll rework a bit, and it’s really gonna be tough to get us off the stage.”

Tickets for Urban’s North American Tour and his May 27 – 29 shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas will go on sale at 10 a.m. December 10.
