Keith Urban announces major ‘High and Alive’ 2025 world tour with stop in Chicago

Country music superstar Keith Urban has announced a new world tour for 2025 with a stop in Chicago.

Urban’s 2025 North American “High and Alive World Tour,” kicks off May 22, in Alabama, with special guests including Alana Springsteen, Chase Matthews and Karley Scott Collins, according to Live Nation. It will stop at the United Center in Chicago Sept. 25, the announcement said.

According to Live Nation, tickets go on pre-sale at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 12. General public tickets go on sale Friday.

Concert goers worldwide have raved about Urban’s live shows, Live Nation said, calling him one of the best performers of any genre.

“Playing live is what I live to do,” Urban said in the announcement. “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!”

In 2023, Urban headlined the grandstand stage at the Illinois State Fair.
