Country music star Keith Urban will headline the entertainment for the Feb. 23 NHL Stadium Series outdoor game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the NFL’s Eagles.
The 2018 CMA Entertainer of the Year and four-time Grammy Award winner will perform during the game’s first intermission, the NHL announced on Feb. 6.
Besides four Grammy Awards, Urban has won 13 Country Music Association Awards, 11 Academy of Country Music Awards, four People’s Choice Awards and four American Music Awards. A member of the Grand Ole Opry, Urban has collaborated as a songwriter, vocalist and guitarist with artists such as the Rolling Stones, John Mayer, Steven Tyler, Miranda Lambert, John Mellencamp, Alicia Keys, Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift, Vince Gill and Eric Church.
Urban’s latest album is “Graffiti U,” released in 2018 in conjunction with his “Graffiti U World Tour 2018,” which played more than 65 dates in the United States and Canada. The tour’s Australia leg kicked off at the end of January and will be followed by his first European tour in nearly a decade.
“Graffiti U,” which hit No. 1 on charts in the United States, Canada and Australia, is Urban’s ninth studio recording.
Additional Stadium Series entertainment details will be announced in the coming weeks, the NHL said.
A limited number of tickets to the game are available for purchase through Ticketmaster via its website and the Ticketmaster app.
