The singer will kick off his ‘RipCORD World Tour’ in Kansas City on June 2 and will wrap up the tour on Nov. 19 in Brooklyn, N.Y. This will be his first arena/amphitheater tour the singer has done in two years. “It’s the greatest show ending on earth that I’ve ever heard. That might be my next move,” Urband said. “I’m always trying to work more on how to connect and how to do things more intimately in that large setting.” Urban has also stated that he hopes to combine his old material with his new songs in a way that he has never performed before. Talking to The Tennessean, he states, “I want to bring in some other elements to the show musically that are different than what we’ve done before, [think about] how to incorporate some of the old material in a new way, potentially reaching into some album tracks from way back.” The tour will have two opening acts in country newcomer Maren Morris and established singer Brett Eldredge

Urban has been busy with other projects including finishing his album RipCORD, which will be out before the tour. He is also a talent judge on American Idol which is currently airing its final season.
