KEITH URBAN AND CARRIE UNDERWOOD’S “Love, Pain & the whole crazy Carnival Ride Tour” EXPANDS FROM 24 To 26-CITY TOUR!

“Love, Pain & the whole crazy Carnival Ride Tour,” a name that combines the titles of each artist’s most recent album; Keith’s double platinum #1 debuting Love, Pain & the whole crazy thing and Carrie’s #1 debut second album Carnival Ride,” combines the talents of two of the music industry’s most powerful performers. No less than 12 #1 songs combined will highlight the artists’ performances.

Urban, who has already been critically praised as one of the industry’s most electrifying performers has been on the road since April 2007 in support of his #1 album Love, Pain & the whole crazy thing and his recently released Greatest Hits: 18 Kids. In that time, he’s performed shows on three continents, to packed houses and frantic crowds. Electrifying performances and world-class production combine with songs that have helped define a career; “Somebody Like You,” “Who Wouldn’t Wanna Be Me,” “Better Life,” “Days Go By,” “You’ll Think Of Me,” “Once In A Lifetime,” as well as his latest single “Everybody,” and more. Additionally, Urban will be co-headlining select Kenny Chesney stadium dates this year.

Underwood’s new album Carnival Ride has sold over two million copies since its release in October and immediately became the best-selling debut of any female artist in 2007. Earning the highest debut-week sales of any sophomore country album in over a decade, the album contains four Underwood co-penned songs including first single “So Small,” which stayed at #1 for 3 weeks, and current single “All-American Girl.” Underwood will also intertwine headline dates on the “Carnival Ride Tour” with special guest Josh Turner around the “Love, Pain & the whole crazy Carnival Ride Tour.”
