Keith Urban is set to return to the road next summer, along with special, yet-to-be-announced guests, with a U.S. tour that will debut in Mobile, Alabama on June 16, 2011.  The “Get Closer 2011 World Tour” will have an all-new stage production that will feature Keith’s always-captivating showmanship.

“Playing live is what it’s always been about for me,” said Keith in a statement. “It’s creating in the moment, it’s the joy, the electricity, the unexpected, the passion and the unknown journey that we’re all taking together. I’ve always felt that the best live concert experiences tap into a deep need in all of us to feel a part of something…to belong. I’m bringing the big boom box and an arsenal of songs and I can’t wait to throw this party!!!!”

The “Get Closer 2011 World Tour” will make stops in Nashville, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, Washington DC, and other locations and will not only include songs from Keith’s deep catalog of hits, including “Better Life”, “You’ll Think Of Me”, “Days Go By”, “Somebody Like You” and “Sweet Thing”, but will feature the debut of music from his sixth studio CD, Get Closer, including his latest single, ”Put You In A Song.” Get Closer follows two previous consecutiveBillboard country and pop No. 1 albums, as well as five previous CDs, all of which have been certified platinum or multi-platinum.
