Stagecoach '18 news: Keith Urban

It's been two years since the release of Keith Urban's chart-topping album Ripcord. On April 27, he returns with ninth studio album, Graffiti U.

The next day, April 28, he headlines Day 2 of the Stagecoach Country Music Festival in Indio, Calif.

Graffiti U, which includes current single “Coming Home” featuring Julia Michaels, will be available for pre-order April 6 at http://smarturl.it/GraffitiU.

“I’ve been full-on writing, recording, collaborating and creating with some incredibly talented people for Graffiti U, a lot of whom I’ve never worked with before,” said Urban, in a press release. “I can hear how some of the songs will translate live already, which really makes putting on a new show so exhilarating.” 

The image on the album cover was taken by photographer Mark Seliger. Track listing is below. Urban's world tour kicks off in June in St. Louis. Lindsay Ell serves as the opening performer for his September performances in Canada, as well as for his debut performance in Rogers, Arkansas. 

“It’s not very often you get to share the stage with an artist you’ve looked up to since the beginning of your career,” said Ell, whose recent album The Project debuted at No. 1 on the Country Album Sales Chart. “I am so excited to be touring with Keith Urban and can’t wait to play for fans in the venues I grew up in!" 

Kelsea Ballerini will be the supporting act for all other shows.
