KEITH URBAN
World Tour - Australia
For more information on Keith Urban Concert Tickets, please contact us here
This summer, Keith Urban will bring his "Escape Together World Tour" home to Australia. This two-hour, high-energy concert event, packed with hits, guitar slinging and what has become an Urban concert trademark; the unexpected, will reach the East Coast of Australia on Saturday 12 December and will be the perfect way to kick off the holiday season.
Fans and critics alike have marvelled at Keith¡¯s ability to connect with his audiences. A 3600 square foot stage, which melts into the ¡°floor seats,¡± certainly helps to afford Urban the ability to simply walk from the stage into the crowd. As a result, Urban has found himself performing from the floor, the first tier seats, as well as walking through the audience to get to a satellite stage located directly opposite from the main stage. In fact he¡¯s appeared in the crowd some three dozen times to date, giving his fans unparalleled access to him during the show.
¡°Our goal every night is to play with the crowd, not at them...we designed the stage to make that possible¡± - Urban.
