The Australian singer holds a special place in his heart for Music City. He has called Nashville home for over three decades now. Urban has frequently participated in local events, too, including singing the national anthem for the Predators in 2019 and 2021.
He’s also known for organizing a few of his own performances around the city when he can, like the impromptu free concert he hosted on Nashville’s Lower Broadway to celebrate his new album release.
Over 25,000 fans showed up to watch Urban perform. The event took place the day before the release of his twelfth studio album, High, on September 20.
