Keith Urban set for Zappos Theater residency
Keith Urban jumped in to fill open dates at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Now he’s bringing his rollicking production to Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood.
The international superstar announced a 16-date engagement running March 3-July 1. Concert promoter Live Nation announced the series Monday morning. Tickets go on sale to the public starting at 10 a.m. Saturday. Members of The ‘Ville, Keith Urban’s official fan club, will have access to a presale beginning at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
The schedule is March 3, 4, 8, 10, 11, 15, 17, 18; June 16, 17, 21, 23, 24, 28, 30; and July 1.
To make the announcement, Urban posted a game show-style bit on social media. He pulled a lever on a giant wheel filled with possible performance locations next year (Somewhere In My Car, Roller Coaster, Georgia Woods and the like).
The wheel landed on “Las Vegas” — we called it! — where Urban promises a new production at Zappos Theater.
Urban closed his hit residency at the Colosseum in March. He had scheduled four dates at the venue to cover those originally held for Adele after she postponed her original “Weekends With Adele” residency in January.
“We got a very panicked call one night, asking if we could fill in a bunch of shows and it worked out perfect,” Urban said in an interview with People. “We were able to do it.”
He has four Grammys, 13 CMAs, 15 ACMs, three AMAs, two People’s Choice Awards and celebrated nine consecutive gold, platinum or multi-platinum albums.
