2018 CMA Entertainer of the Year and four-time GRAMMY Award winner Keith Urban will headline the entertainment for the 2019 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series™ outdoor game between the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins at Lincoln Financial Field®, home of the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles, the National Hockey League (NHL) announced today. The performance in the first intermission presented by Ticketmaster® will be televised as part of the NHL Stadium Series broadcast, which begins at 8 p.m. ET on NBC in the U.S. and on SN1, SN360 and TVAS2 in Canada.
Urban released Graffiti U last year in conjunction with his “GRAFFITI U WORLD TOUR 2018,” which played more than 65 dates in the U.S. and Canada. The tour’s Australia leg kicked off at the end of January and will be followed by his first European tour in nearly a decade.
Graffiti U, which upon its debut on April 27, 2018 hit #1 on charts in the United States, Canada and Australia, is Urban’s ninth studio recording and follows one of the most successful releases of his career, 2016’s RIPCORD.
Graffiti U’s latest single “Never Comin Down,” follows his 24th #1 “Coming Home” (featuring Julia Michaels), which marked the first time a country artist has used a sample of a country song (Merle Haggard’s “Mama Tried”).
Urban has had an album simultaneously atop the all-genre charts in the U.S., Canada and Australia twice and is the only male Country artist to have achieved the mark even once. He now stands at #8 on Billboard’s All-Time Country Airplay Chart as the artist with the most consecutive top 10 songs on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart (38) – a streak that started in August of 2000.
Besides four Grammy Awards, Urban has won 13 Country Music Association Awards, 11 Academy of Country Music Awards, four People’s Choice Awards and four American Music Awards. He is also a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Urban’s reputation as a premier songwriter, vocalist, musician and virtuoso guitarist has afforded him the opportunity to collaborate with the likes of The Rolling Stones, John Mayer, Steven Tyler, Miranda Lambert, John Mellencamp, Alicia Keys, Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift, Vince Gill and Eric Church.
