March 6, 2024 – Two-time, CMA Entertainer of the Year Keith Urban will perform at the Illinois State Fair on Fri., Aug. 9 with special guest MacKenzie Porter.
Urban has won four Grammy Awards, thirteen CMAs, fifteen ACMs, three AMAs, two People’s Choice Awards and celebrated nine consecutive gold, platinum or multi-platinum albums.
Inducted into the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2023 by Dolly Parton, Urban made a return to the American Idol stage as both a mentor and performer, performed on the finale of NBC’s The Voice and closed his critically hailed Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

The new music joins a litany of chart-topping songs including “Blue Ain’t Your Color”, “Wasted Time”, “Somebody Like You”, “Long Hot Summer” and “One Too Many”, his duet with P!nk, his 43rd Top 10 single, that garnered over 100 million Spotify streams.
