Keith Urban Pops Up In Alabama For Surprise Buc-ee’s Show
Keith Urban
Keith Urban thrilled fans in Athens, Alabama with a surprise pop-up concert in a parking lot adjacent to a Buc-ee’s convenience store and gas station, where he played for an estimated crowd of 6,000.
The concert came off with same day notice and quick construction of a stage, and Urban performed songs from his forthcoming album High, as well as many of his No. 1 hits for the crowd. Buc-ee’s put him to work behind the food counter inside as well, where he poured sauce on their famous brisket and chopped up some meat.

“I came down to this Buc-ee’s about a month ago and when I left, I went ‘it’d be kinda fun to do a show there,'” said Urban. There’s no word on whether there will be any more random pop-ups in the works.
