KEITH URBAN BRINGS “GRAFFITI U WORLD TOUR 2018” TO ST. LOUIS ON JUNE 15

Tickets will go on sale on Friday, March 2 at 10am at Ticketmaster.com.  The tour will feature special guest Kelsea Ballerini as Urban’s supporting act.
 
The 58-city tour will kick off in June and run through November. Urban’s shows have become concert events that electrify. They’re unexpected, if not unpredictable, and have been hailed by media around the world as a “concert experience not to be missed.” The tour will feature many of Urban’s 23 #1 songs, as well as brand new songs that have never been performed live and an all-new concert production that promises to be as spectacular as never before. 
 
“I’ve been full-on writing, recording, collaborating and creating with some incredibly talented people for GRAFFITI U, a lot of whom I’ve never worked with before,” said Urban.  “I can hear how some of the songs will translate live already, which really makes putting on a new show so exhilarating and I loved having our fans included in the announcement of the tour because it’s their tour too.” 
 
“I remember hearing Keith Urban songs that stopped me in my tracks and made me want to drop everything and chase that kind of lyric and heart-filled artistry,” says Ballerini. “He’s the best in the business and I can’t wait to fangirl and learn from him this year. Truly an honor to tour with him.”

RASCAL FLATTS GEAR UP FOR SUMMER TOUR WITH SPECIAL GUESTS KELSEA BALLERINI AND CHRIS LANE AS SECOND VEGAS RESIDENCY WRAPS TO CRITICS’ APPLAUSE

03.07.2016

Nashville, TN (March 7, 2016) – ACM Vocal Group Of The Year Nominees RASCAL FLATTS wrapped their second wildly-successful Vegas Residency this weekend at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.  Over the course of their nine-show spectacular critics praised as “the trio that’s practically made of gold and platinum” (Las Vegas Magazine) “blasted through hit after hit” (Las Vegas Review Journal) as well as a surprise cameo from Brian McKnight much “to the delight of the band and their fans” (Las Vegas Sun.) Following enthusiastic feedback to the group’s stripped-down setup in Vegas, that allowed the group to fully engage with fans, Rascal Flatts announced today that their headlining RASCAL FLATTS: RHYTHM AND ROOTS TOUR will kick off in Charlotte, NC on 6/17 and the trio have invited two-time ACM nominee Kelsea Ballerini and red-hot newcomer Chris Lane to join them out on the road.

“It’s really important to us that each year our shows are fresh and exciting for our fans,” said Jay DeMarcus.  “We put a lot of thought into how to do that this year and mixing it up in Vegas was really fun so we decided to continue with this new change of pace out on the road this summer.  We are so pumped because no-one has ever seen Rascal Flatts like this before and we’re really excited to have such great support this year with Kelsea and Chris too, it’s going to be a blast!”
