Keith Urban

Keith Urban surprised fans Wednesday night with a pop-up show at Nashville’s Exit/In club, where the star revealed his new Graffiti U World Tour 2018. Three hundred and fifty lucky fans were treated to a set that included some songs from Kelsea Ballerini, who will accompany Urban on the North American leg of his new tour as the supporting act. The tour includes a stop at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Aug. 24.

During the two-hour surprise show, Urban also revealed the name of his new album, Graffiti U. No release date has been revealed for the album. He recruited fans around the country to help with the announcement, and during the live-streamed event they appeared holding poster boards in cities across the country announcing the Graffiti U World Tour 2018.

“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.”

The 58-city tour kicks off June 15th at St. Louis’s Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre and will include 10 shows in Canada as well as stops in cities in Nevada, Oregon, Alabama and Arkansas that Urban has yet to headline.

There’s no doubt that it’s going to be a total blast and we’re thrilled to have Russell out with us too this summer – we’re already brainstorming ways to shake things up and make each night all about just being in the moment.”

Jack White Announces North American Tour Dates

Jack White‘s New Year is shaping up to be pretty packed as he just announced a new North American headlining tour in support of his brand new album Boarding House Reach, which is due out March 23 on Third Man/Columbia. White will kick off the tour in Detroit April 19 and hit St. Louis, Atlanta, Boston, Salt Lake City, Santa Barbara, and even some international dates in Paris, London and Amsterdam through August.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Jan. 26, and Third Man Records Vault members will have access to the very first pre-sale starting on January 22. Fans will also have the opportunity to purchase tickets in advance of the public on sale during the Ticketmaster Verified Fan pre-sale. Ticketmaster Verified Fan is currently open and continues until January 19 at 11:59 PM ET. Verified Fan registration is available at jackwhite.tmverifiedfan.com/. Every online ticket purchased in North America for the new shows will include a physical copy of  the new album. Fans will also have the option to upgrade their CD to the standard black vinyl LP.

Boarding House Reach includes the acclaimed new tracks, “Connected By Love” and “Respect Commander.” The project was written and conceived by White while holed up in a spartan apartment with no outside distractions, and he replicated the identical environment and used the same gear as when he was a 15 year old (a quarter-inch four-track tape recorder, a simple mixer, and the most basic of instrumentation) to pen sketches of the album’s songs.
