Keith Urban Announces Canadian Tour Dates For 2025
It will have been three years since Keith Urban last toured, when his “High And Alive World Tour,” fires up in Canada for eight shows featuring Chase Matthew, Alana Springsteen, and Karley Scott Collins.
Keith said, “Playing live is what I live to do. Looking out from a stage and seeing people singing, forgetting about all the stress in their lives, cutting loose, and feeling ALIVE – that’s what it’s about for me. Lots of hits, new songs, things we won’t even think about until we’re onstage – and loads of guitar. We’re gonna make this tour the best night of your life!”
Information about the “High And Alive World Tour,” is available at www.keithurban.com, with more North American dates to be announced in the coming months.
The country superstar announced the new dates in a fun way with his show openers on his Instagram.

Urban recently announced that his new radio single is the song that kicks off his High album, “Straight Line.” There’s a line in the song that was inspired by the Eagles’ classic “Hotel California.”
He told us recently, “I love textures in songs. Even in the second verse of ‘Straight Line,’ there’s a line in there that I really love—‘finally leaving Hotel California’ – and the reason that I love that line so much is just because I thought, ‘What’s the ultimate statement of finally getting out and breaking out?’ And in that lyric in ‘Hotel California’ by the Eagles, it says, ‘You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.’”
Urban continued, “Obviously, the ultimate release would be finally leaving ‘Hotel California,’ and when that moment happened when we were making the record and we had a little breakdown, I was like, ‘It’s still missing something,’ and so I went out and did like ‘Whoo!’ ‘Hey!’ And I’m like, party of one in the background with chinking glasses and stuff like that. It’s just this little celebratory texture that you hear just in the background. So, those things take so long when I’m making records, because the ideas come when they come.”
