New Keith Urban Dates Light The Fuse
Keith Urban’s upcoming U.S. tour now has a name – “Light The Fuse Tour 2013” – as well as a second leg of dates. With support from Little Big Town and special guest Dustin Lynch, the trek now features 20 new gigs.
An announcement from the New Zealand-born and Australia-raised country singer says the tour will feature music from his upcoming album along with “an all-new production, the size and scope of which have become synonymous with Urban’s electrifying concert experiences.”
The new music is expected to be released this spring. His last full-length studio album is 2010’s Get Closer.
