Australian country rocker Keith Urban will stop in Canandaigua on June 24, before playing at Syracuse’s Lakeview Amphitheater on Aug. 25 and at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Nov. 19. Urban is touring in support of his forthcoming album, Ripcord, and will bring along special guests Brett Eldredge and Maren Morris for most of the 50-city tour.

Urban is currently reprising his role as a vocal judge on the final season of American Idol. An official drop date for Ripcord has not been announced yet.
