Tickets on Sale Friday, October 1st ; Mulit-Platinum Artist's First Headline Tour Coincides with September 21st Album Release
September 9, 2004 - CMT on Tour: Keith Urban Be Here '04 brings country's newest superstar, multi-platinum artist Keith Urban to Columbia at the Hearnes Center. Tickets, for what critics have called one of the best live performers in the business, are set to go on sale Friday, October 1st .
The concert marks Urban's first appearance in Columbia as a headline act, not surprising as he's been electrifying audiences across the country since his debut release in 1999. He's sold millions of albums, had four No.1 singles and 8 Top 5 hits. CMT ON TOUR: KEITH URBAN BE HERE '04 will highlight all of the hits from Urban's career including the songs that made him Billboard Magazine's most played artist for 2003 ("Somebody Like You," "Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me" and "Raining On Sunday") as well as his third No. 1 track from "Golden Road," "You'll Think Of Me." In addition, Urban will perform his first No.1 hit, "But For The Grace of God," as well as his latest release "Days Go By" from his highly anticipated forthcoming Capitol Records release, "Be Here," which hits stores on Sept. 21.
Universal South newcomer, powerhouse singer-songwriter Katrina Elam, will open for Urban. Her self-titled debut album will be released Oct 5. Elam's first single, "No End In Sight," produced by Tony Brown and Jimmie Lee Sloas, was recently released and has already made its way into the Top 40.
Ticket information, tour schedule and the latest tour news will be available at CMT's Web site, www.CMT.com and at www.keithurban.net.
Select stops on the CMT ON TOUR: KEITH URBAN BE HERE '04 will feature CMT's promotional vehicle, CMT Cross Country, which features a star-studded red carpet where fans can pose with their favorite life-size standup celebrity. At the end of the red carpet fans can pose for a free laminate featuring their face on the cover of Country Music Today magazine. The walk-up tour, based out of a 53-foot promotional truck and trailer, will provide music fans with cutting-edge entertainment including games and a chance to win CMT prizes.
