Keith Urban on the set of GAC's Top 20 Country Countdown.
Sept. 16, 2009 — Kenny Chesney has spent much of this decade headlining stadiums and collecting Entertainer of the Year honors. He’s planning on taking 2010 off from the road, and his own pick for best act to take his slot during the summer might be former touring partner Keith Urban.
"Anybody who hasn’t gone to see Keith Urban is missing it," Kenny told Entertainment Weekly. "That’s my opinion."
Keith’s shows are loaded with exhilirating songs and ace guitar work, and he designed the stage for his current Escape Together World Tour so that he can ease into the audience at will and perform amidst the fans. It’s all part of his goal to get the crowd fully engaged.
"If you want to sit down at a concert, that's cool, but if you want to stand up and go nuts, you should be allowed to do that," he told the national radio show GAC Nights: Live From Nashville. "We've had a few places where the security won't let them do that, and I do my best always to override that. So, let it be said here and now, if you're told to sit down at a concert, it has nothing to do with me, because I want your ass out of the seat!"
Keith hasn’t yet announced tour plans for 2010. His concert schedule currently closes Dec. 19 in Brisbane, Australia. Kenny meanwhile wraps up his Sun City Carnival Tour Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis with Sugarland, Montgomery Gentry, Miranda Lambert and the Zac Brown Band.
