Keith Urban to launch 'The Speed of Now' tour in June 2022

Dec. 1 (UPI) -- Keith Urban is going on tour in 2022.

The 54-year-old country music singer announced North American dates for his The Speed of Now world tour Wednesday.

The North American leg begins June 17, 2022, in Tampa, Fla., and ends Nov. 5 in St. Paul, Minn. Ingrid Andress will join Urban as his opening act.

Urban told People he's looking forward to "re-igniting that person-to-person connection I feel with everyone that comes out to see our shows."

"It's pure magic when you look out and see everyone just letting loose. I've really missed that!" he said.

Urban will perform his hits and new songs from his album The Speed of Now Part 1, released in September.

"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," he said.
