Posted 6/18/2009

The tour is in support of his sixth studio album, "Defying Gravity," which is set for release on March 31, 2009. The album's first single, "Sweet Thing," already jumped to No. 8 on Billboard's country chart.
"Defying Gravity comes from the lyrics of a song on the album, and it just struck me at the time as a phrase that really defined the joyous, optimistic and uplifting spirit that seemed to show itself while making the album," Urban said.
One supporting act— Sugarland, Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean, Lady Antebellum, Zac Brown Band, Dierks Bentley or Glen Campbell—will appear at each show.
