Keith Urban Launches 2022 ‘Speed of Now’ Tour With Triumphant Opening Weekend [Watch]
Keith Urban has just launched his 2022 The Speed of Now Tour, and the country superstar is marking the occasion by releasing a new live rendition of his classic hit, "You'll Think of Me."
The Speed of Now Tour finds Urban on the road for the first time in nearly four years, and he was delighted to be back on stage on Friday (June 17) at the Midflorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa, Fla.
“We made it!,” Urban told the crowd just minutes after hitting the stage, according to a press release. “Am I a bit nervous? Just a little! But, I’ve never been more excited to see so many people in one place!”
Urban's new road show features the singer-songwriter and guitarist and his band performing more than 20 songs over the course of two-and-a-half hours. The following night's show in Tampa, Fla., was delayed for more than an hour due to severe storms in the areas, which Urban documented in a video clip he posted to social media.
Urban is celebrating the launch of the new tour with the release a new live version of one of his early hits, "You'll Think of Me," which gave him a No. 1 hit when he released it as the fourth and final single from his Golden Road album in 2004. The new rendition is currently available across a wide variety of digital music providers.
Keith Urban's 2022 The Speed of Now Tour continues with two shows in Toronto on July 8 and 9. Ingrid Andress serves as his support act for the tour. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit Urban's official website.
