Keith Urban seems to be on one tour after another, but the fans of this country music icon are not complaining. This year, Urban is hitting the road with Jerrod Niemann and Brett Eldredge as opening acts. Interestingly, the tour begins in Canada on July 12th in Alberta. The tour lasts just a little over 2 months where it will come to an end in Washington on September 13th.
Keith Urban has been a country icon since the 90s and has since released 8 albums. Fans are unlikely to hear his first album’s music, but they will hear songs from Be Here, Get Closer and Fuse among his other albums. The best songs from Fuse will be on the set list, including “Little Bit of Everything” and “We Were Us.” Fans will be sad to hear that some of the best duets from Get Closer will probably not be heard, unless a special guests decides to join in.
Jerrod Niemann has produced 3 albums since 2010 and has truly made his mark on country music. While nowhere near the popularity of Urban, Niemann will be a welcomed addition to the tour. Some of his biggest songs include “That Girl is a Cowboy” and “Lover Lover.” Fans can also expect to hear “Donkey” which was just released this year. This Kansas native will rock the house and get the party started.
Brett Eldredge is the youngest of the three performers and you may know him for a little song called “Don’t Ya.” Brett Eldredge opened up for Taylor Swift and has a few hits that have reached the top of the charts. Eldredge is best known for “Don’t Ya,” “Beat of the Music” and “Raymond.”
No word has been released on which opening act will hit the stage first, but one things for sure, all of these country music artists will have you on your feet all night long.
