“Every night is the first time we’ve played these songs for that audience, in that
moment,” says Urban. “It’s why every show is different – spontaneous and
unpredictable – even for us!” He adds, “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.”
Four-time GRAMMY© Award winner Keith Urban has set Summer ’22 for the
North American debut of his first world tour in four years, THE SPEED OF
NOW WORLD TOUR. The tour’s newly announced North American leg, with 3x
GRAMMY© nominee Ingrid Andress, will add fifty shows to the previously
announced concerts in Australia, Germany, Netherlands and the U.K., includes
a stop at the new UBS Arena at Belmont Park, located on the border of Queens
and Nassau County, on Saturday, October 22. For information on where to get
tickets go to www.keithurban.com.
“I’ve always considered myself a live performer first,” says Urban. “It’s what I’ve
always done and it’s what my music needs to live and breathe. Our shows are
all about living in the moment. They’re a totally interactive and immersive
experience where everyone can participate in whatever way they want - sing,
dance, do whatever.”
UBS Arena at Belmont Park is made for music and built for hockey. New York's
newest premier entertainment and sports venue and home of the New York
Islanders is developed in partnership with Oak View Group, the New York
Islanders, and Jeff Wilpon. Providing a significant boost to the regional
economy, especially when economic activity has been greatly impacted by the
pandemic, the world-class entertainment venue, with its timeless and classic
design, will bridge its iconic past with today’s advanced technology and
amenities.
The $1.1 billion multi-purpose, state of the art arena will host more than 150
major events annually while delivering an unmatched live entertainment
experience including clear sightlines and premier acoustics. UBS Arena is
designed to hold up to 19,000 people for concerts and audiences up to 17,000
for NHL games. In an effort to build a greener future, UBS Arena intends on
being carbon neutral for operations before 2024, which will make it the first
arena to do so on the eastern United States seaboard.
Critics from around the globe have hailed Urban’s concerts as ones “not to be
missed,” as unpredictable as they are explosive. Combine his infectious
showmanship, virtuoso guitar playing, effortless spontaneity with a fist-
pumping, arena-ready arsenal of hits and THE SPEED OF NOW WORLD TOUR
promises to be one of the concert event of the Summer.
But what lies at the heart of every great show are the songs. Blue Ain’t Your
Color, The Fighter, Somewhere In My Car, Wasted Time, Somebody Like You,
Long Hot Summer, his latest single Wild Hearts, and his global smash One Too
Many with P!NK, will anchor a night of music from one of the touring world’s
best.
