Urban’s Super Bowl XLV performance will feature music from his recently released CD Get Closer, and will serve to kick off his just announced on-sale dates (to begin February 11) for his “Get Closer 2011 World Tour”, which will begin on June 16 in Mississippi.

More than 153 million viewers in the U.S. watched last year’s Super Bowl, the most-watched television program in history. The pregame show and Super Bowl XLV will be broadcast worldwide.

Urban’s recently released sixth studio CD Get Closer follows two previous consecutive Billboard country and pop #1 albums, as well as five previous CDs, all of which have been certified platinum or better. He is the first artist to have ever won the Country Music Associations Horizon Award and Entertainer of the Year Award. He has sold nearly 20 million CDs, is a three-time Grammy Award winner, and has won a People’s Choice and American Music Award.
