Keith Urban is embarking on an exciting new chapter in his career with the announcement of his High and Alive World Tour, marking his return to the road for the first time in three years. However, the tour comes during a challenging period for his wife, Nicole Kidman, who recently lost her mother, Janelle Ann.
According to Hello Magazine, Urban’s world tour kicks off in May 2025 with eight electrifying shows in Canada. The tour will feature special performances by Chase Matthew, Karley Scott Collins, and Alana Springsteen.
Urban, 55, expressed his enthusiasm for performing live, calling it the essence of his musical passion. “Looking out from a stage and seeing people singing, forgetting about all the stress in their lives, cutting loose, and feeling ALIVE—that’s what it’s about for me,” the Straight Line singer shared.
The country superstar promised fans a memorable experience, adding, “Lots of hits, new songs, things we won’t even think about until we’re onstage—and loads of guitar. We’re gonna make this tour the best night of your life!”
While Urban prepares to hit the road, Kidman continues to cope with the loss of her mother, who passed away in September 2024. The couple shares two teenage daughters and has faced a deeply emotional time in recent months.
In a November 2024 interview with GQ, the Aquaman actress opened up about her grief, revealing the emotional toll her mother’s passing has had on her. “I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night crying,” Kidman admitted, referencing thoughts about mortality and the loss of her parents.
Urban’s return to touring marks a significant milestone in his career while balancing his role as a husband and father during this difficult time. His tour promises to bring joy and connection to audiences worldwide, reflecting his passion for performing live.
As the High and Alive World Tour approaches, fans eagerly anticipate the energy and excitement Urban is known to bring to the stage, even as his family navigates a period of mourning and reflection.
