Keith Urban is heading to Las Vegas in September to christen the newly renovated Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Keith will play two shows at the Palace on September 6 and 7.

“We knew we had to reopen a venue as iconic as The Colosseum in a big way. Keith Urban was the perfect choice,” said Amanda Moore, VP of Marketing for Live Nation Las Vegas told Billboard. “Fans will have the opportunity to see one of the biggest names in music perform in an intimate setting for two nights only -- an experience they can’t find anywhere else in the world.”

The dates are part of Urban's Graffiti U World Tour, which started back up after its huge run in 2018 playing Europe, Australia and the U.S.

The renovations at the Colosseum include a brand new sound and lighting system. Tickets for the show go on sale on July 19.
