Keith Urban Excited to Be Down Under!!

Keith Urban says he's "excited" to be giving his Australian fans the full show he played all summer across North America. The singer admits it doesn't happen very often, but this year he had enough time after wrapping up dates on these shores to pack up all his "Escape Together" tour equipment and ship it "down under." He adds, quote, "It feels really good to do that because we've had this production since May of this year and we've done a lot of shows on this stage, so there'll be a good familiar feeling being up here playing."

Urban has been receiving rave reviews for his shows. "The Melbourne News" called his concert "a terrific spectacle," noting, quote, "The crowd was totally enthralled and he was as intimate with the crowd as one could be" in a packed arena. Australia's "Undercover Music News" referred to Urban's show as "one big party," noting, quote, "Urban can make 12-thousand fans in a stadium feel like they are with him in a room. On stage he becomes one of them." Urban's Australian tour continues with a show in Sydney tonight.
