Following a successful series with Dean Lewis and Amy Shark, KIIS and iHeartRadio Australia, thanks to EMI Music Australia, has revealed that Keith Urban is heading back home as the next artist to take over iHeartLIVE.
The fan-curated event on Monday, 2 September in a secret Sydney location will showcase Keith Urban in an intimate setting, giving 30 fans the exclusive opportunity to hear songs from his upcoming album ‘HIGH’ before its release on September 20 – his first album in nearly four years.
Hosted by The Kyle & Jackie O Show’s ‘Intern Pete’ Deppeler, superfans will be treated to a performance of never-before-heard music and stories from Keith Urban on how the album was created and his songwriting experience in its totality.
Ahead of his iHeartLIVE event on 2 September, Keith says the album’s name ‘HIGH’ and the feeling of performing live go hand in hand. “Playing guitar, writing songs and the place where I always feel high – playing live,” says Urban. “Every night I get a chance to bring an energy and a release to people.”
In addition, Keith Urban will also be taking over The Kyle & Jackie O Show live on Tuesday, 3 September as the next ‘Kyle & Jackie O’s Songbook’ artist, performing an acoustic version of one of his global hits, along with a cover of a song of his choosing, diving deep into the story of what it means in his life and encompassing it in his own experience.
Keith Urban’s new album ‘HIGH’ is available September 2, with his new single ‘WILDSIDE’ available to stream and download now.
