How would you react if you picked up the phone and Keith Urban was on the other end of the line?
That’s exactly what happened to a number of fans when Urban called them while working on plans for his upcoming The Speed Of Now Tour.
In a video shared to Urban’s social media accounts, the country superstar is seen phoning a few “friends” to get their input on his setlist for his new tour.

“Working on the setlist for tour and decided to call a few friends for suggestions. There’s no one better out there to help than all of YOU,” he captioned the post.
Throughout the video, Urban chats with fans and asks what songs they would like to see him perform on tour.
The guitar-slinger took down notes as fans requested tracks such as “You’ll Think of Me,” “Raining on Sunday” and “John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16.”

Urban also asked fans to drop their picks for his set list in the comments and hopes to incorporate many of the tracks into his new tour.
In December, Urban announced the North American leg of the tour on social media.
“After two years we’re finally gonna get the chance to play some of the new songs we haven’t done live before. We’ll throw in a bunch of the songs that everyone comes to hear, a couple of which we’ll rework a bit, and it’s really gonna be tough to get us off the stage,” he shared at the time.
The North American leg of the tour which includes stops in cities such as Denver, CO, Nashville, TN, and Atlanta, GA, includes a total of 50 dates, adding to Urban’s previously announced concerts in Australia, Germany, Netherlands and the U.K.
