The Graffiti U World Tour is Urban’s first in more than two years. The two-hour-plus show features new songs from Graffiti U including Parallel Line, Coming Home, Never Coming Down and My Wave, as well as some of the biggest hits from his back catalogue. 

Urban will be supported on his Australian tour by Grammy nominated artist Julia Michaels.

“This Graffiti U World Tour is by far the most insane energy we’ve ever seen at our shows. I always love being able to bring the tour to Oz, but to also have Julia Michaels with us this time is incredible – and will be the first time we’ve ever toured together,” Urban said.

“The way the record has been embraced here too is extraordinary – so being able to bring those songs to life and have everyone singing them with us will be seriously awesome.”
