Keith Urban Wraps Up U.S. Leg Of Tour

Keith Urban wraps the U.S. leg of his Graffiti U World tour this week with shows in New Orleans on Friday, November 2nd, and Dallas on Saturday, November 3rd. He and special guest Kelsea Ballerini kicked off the tour in June.

Putting together the setlist was no easy task for Keith. With so many hits under his belt, making every fan happy was a tough goal but one that Keith says he worked hard to do.

“I want to play what the audience wants to hear obviously, and there’s a mix of people in the audience. You’ve always got new people that have never seen us live and they’re hoping that you do ‘X’ song, whatever that might be. There’s just so many songs, and then you’ve got people who’ve seen us hundreds and hundreds of times who are like, ‘Oh, please don’t do that song again. We’ve got to have heard that a million times. We wanna hear more of the new ones.’ So, it’s a beautiful challenge that I feel very blessed to have. And at the end of the day I put together a setlist that feels energy and emotion and thematically and musically and every other way right from top to bottom, covering as much as we can without playing for four hours. It’s also part of the reason we didn’t take any other acts on the tour. We just took Kelsea and us. That gave us more time to play.”

Keith kicks off 2019 with a string of dates in Australia beginning on January 23rd in Newcastle.
