Keith Urban, the amiable Australian-born country star, is coming to State Farm Arena on Oct. 8, 2022, as part of a 50-city tour.

It’s dubbed “The Speed of Now World” tour and tickets go on sale Friday, Dec. 10. Ticket prices range from $39.50 to $169.50 before fees.

Over the past two decades, the Grammy-winning vocalist and guitarist has built up an impressive collection of original songs over 12 studio albums and more than 40 top 10 country hits. Among his many notable songs include “Days Go By,” “Somebody Like You,” “Blue Ain’t Your Color,” “You Look Good In My Shirt” and “The Fighter.” He was also an “American Idol” judge for several years.

In a press release, Urban said: “After two years we’re finally gonna get the chance to play some of the new songs we haven’t done live before. We’ll throw in a bunch of the songs that everyone comes to hear, a couple of which we’ll rework a bit, and it’s really gonna be tough to get us off the stage.”

His last live appearance on stage in Atlanta was in November 2019 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the ATLLive concert series which also included Sugarland and Blake Shelton. (Our review at the time.) Before that, he headlined the amphitheater in Alpharetta four times between 2014 and 2018 when it was called Verizon Wireless and is now Ameris Bank Amphitheatre.

Opening will be Ingrid Andress.
