In celebration of the grand reopening of The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, four-time GRAMMY Award winner Keith Urban will bring his acclaimed “GRAFFITI U WORLD TOUR” to Las Vegas for the first time with back-to-back evenings on Sept. 6 and 7. The performances from the reigning CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year will mark the debut of the newly-enhanced Colosseum, as well as the first performances to utilize the venue’s new general admission capability on the main floor, creating a high-energy entertainment experience for fans. The shows are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m.
The updates to the world-famous Colosseum include several audiovisual enhancements along with upgrades to the design and the seating arrangement system to elevate the entertainment experience for an audience. Imagine your CEO or keynote speaker magnified on a brand new 110 feet long by 34 feet tall LED video screen. With upgrades to the audiovisual equipment, the capabilities of presenting will reach all new heights. A state-of-the-art automated lifting system for modular seating allows every viewer in the venue to have a clear view of the presentation of performance.The Colosseum is available for group buy-outs and full venue buy-outs.
Urban is one of the most explosive live performers in music today. His concerts are critically hailed the world over and feature many of his 24 chart-topping songs including Graffiti U’s “Coming Home,” RIPCORD’s “Wasted Time,” “The Fighter,” his mega hit “Blue Ain’t Your Color,” and seminal No. 1′s including “Somebody Like You,” “Days Go By,” “Long Hot Summer” and “Stupid Boy.” His now legendary unpredictability has seen Urban performing with fans, with special guests, giving away used show guitars and performing solos perched atop audience seating.
General ticket prices beginning at $59, plus applicable tax and fees, went on sale to the general public on Friday, July 19 at 10 a.m. PT at ticketmaster.com or in-person at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace box office.
