Keith Urban is currently touring Australia on his Graffiti U World Tour and played a show in Brisbane.

In true Urban style, Keith took to his phone to film a thank you to his hometown crowd. He said in part, “It was amazing you guys sang so loud, your energy was crazy good right from the first song all the way through it never let up. We have two more shows here and it’s just nice to be back.”

Keith’s Graffiti U World Tour plays two shows in Melbourne, Australia next week. After that, the tour is off to Europe to play shows in Germany, The Netherlands, The U.K. and Ireland. He is back for shows in the U.S. in June.

Keith’s “Parallel Line” is nominated at the 61st Annual Grammys in the Best Country Solo Performance. The show airs live on CBS on Febrary 10th.
