Keith Urban tour to stop at UM in September

Tickets for country star Keith Urban’s world tour stop at the University of Montana Adams Center on Sept. 29 will go on sale Friday, Jan. 26.

At a surprise pop-up show in Nashville, Grammy award-winner Urban announced his “Graffiti U World Tour 2018.” The tour will kick off in June and run through November, making stops in 58 cities, including Missoula. Tickets cost $59 or $89.50 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Jan. 26 at http://www.umt.edu/griztix/, at all Griztix outlets and by phone at 888-MONTANA.

“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,” Urban said. “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 “Graffiti U” tour also will feature special guest Kelsea Ballerini.

“I remember hearing Keith Urban songs that stopped me in my tracks and made me want to drop everything and chase that kind of lyric- and heart-filled artistry,” Ballerini said. “He’s the best in the business, and I can’t wait to fangirl and learn from him this year. Truly an honor to tour with him.”
