Not long after, Urban announced the Australian leg of his HIGH AND ALIVE WORLD TOUR. North American dates will be announced later this year.

Brown first broke onto the scene with the arrival of his self-titled, two-time Platinum debut album (2016), where he became the first artist ever to lead all five of Billboard’s main Country charts simultaneously and topped the Billboard Top Country Albums chart for 13 weeks. He earned two of the most-streamed Country songs of all time: chart-topping singles diamond-certified “Heaven” and nine-time Platinum “What Ifs.” His album Experiment (2018) hit No.1 on the Billboard Top 200 all-genre list, and Brown became the first Country artist in more than 24 years to top the chart with a sophomore album. Brown released his multi-song project Mixtape Vol. 1, which earned him an ACM Award nomination for Album of the Year (2021) and an ACM win for Video of the Year. Named to Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World (2021), Brown has ascended from independently built social media notability to an ACM Entertainer of the Year nominee (2023 and 2024). He has garnered a series of milestones that continue to expand the perception of country music and break musical boundaries. kanebrownmusic.com

Jelly Roll (Jason DeFord) is currently nominated for three CMA awards, including Entertainer of the Year, Male, and Album of the Year (Whitsitt Chapel). The award-winning, GRAMMY-nominated Nashville native singer-songwriter is set to release his highly anticipated new follow-up album, Beautifully Broken on October 11. His new single “I Am Not OK” follows four consecutive No. 1 singles at Country radio: “Halfway To Hell,” “Save Me,” “Need A Favor” and “Son of A Sinner.” In 2023, Jelly’s country album debut Whitsitt Chapel entered at Top 3 on the Billboard 200 All Genre Chart and No. 2 on the Top Country Album charts, earning the biggest Country debut album in Billboard Consumption Chart history. Following his sweep at the 2023 CMT Music Awards, where he earned three awards to become the most awarded artist of the night, the Billboard Country Power List Cover star received Billboard’s 2023 Breakthrough Award and the People’s Choice Award for Male Country Artist of the Year. Nominated for Best New Artist and Best Duo/Group Performance for “Save Me (with Lainey Wilson)” at the 2024 GRAMMY Awards, along with eight genre-spanning nominations at the 2024 iHeartRadio Awards and a win for best New Country and Pop artist, Jelly Roll is one of three artists alongside Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs to have scored three Country Airplay No. 1s in 2023 and the first to do it with his first three singles. Jelly was a four-time winner at the 2023 People’s Choice Country Awards and the most nominated male at the 2023 CMA Awards, with five total nominations capturing his first CMA Award for New Artist of the Year. His No. 1 hit single “Save Me” took him to new heights, including a Platinum certification from the RIAA on the heels of his 28-week reign at No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart and earned him his first ACM win for Music Event of the Year. Not just an artist but a humanitarian, he continues to resonate with fans on a global scale. He sold-out his hometown show with 18,000 fans at Bridgestone Arena; donated a recording studio at the juvenile detention center he served in as a teen; released his record-breaking documentary by ABC News, “Save Me,” the most watched music documentary on the platform; and has visited with rehab centers and those incarcerated across the country. jellyroll615.com
