Urban is one of Australia’s great country music exports, with the hitmaker acquiring a huge American fanbase over the journey. In a press release via UDiscoverMusic, Urban said his new album High is “a musical journey, intentionally sequenced through themes of what it is to be alive, human connection, cutting loose, huge hook choruses, hope, nostalgia, shredding solos, straight-up fun, and some personal life revelations.”

His return to Australian shores is a wonderful opportunity for music lovers to catch Urban in the flesh as he performs live versions of his new songs from album High for the first time, including ‘Wildside,’ ‘Straight Line’, ‘Messed Up As Me’ and the Lainey Wilson featuring ‘Go Home W U’.

Fans can also expect to hear all their favourite Urban tunes, such as ‘Better Life’, ‘Making Memories of Us’, ‘Kiss A Girl’, ‘Once in a Lifetime’, ‘Long Hot Summer’ and P!nk duet ‘One Too Many’.
