Four-time Grammy winner Keith Urban has joined CBS’s upcoming music competition series The Road. The series, set to debut during the fall 2025 primetime season, comes from prolific producer Taylor Sheridan (the Yellowstone universe, Mayor of Kingstown), Blake Shelton, David Glasser, and Lee Metzger.
“I spent a lot of my underage life playing in some seedy pubs, sometimes just for the bartender. So I love the idea of throwing artists into a real-world environment to find out if they are artists,” said Keith Urban. “Paying your dues sucks, but there are things in this business that can’t be taught, like how to put together a set list, whether to extend or cut a song during your performance or how to work the crowd. For me, touring has always been my first love. It’s where the rubber meets the road. But it’s the only road to take if you want to be a performer.”
Per CBS: “The Road offers viewers a backstage pass into the gritty and unforgiving life of a touring musician. With exclusive access to the behind-the-scenes workings of the music industry, viewers will see what happens when some of the best up-and-coming performers pile into a tour bus and tackle a grueling schedule in pursuit of their dreams.”
Urban’s set to perform his biggest hits, along with songs off of his album High, at venues in Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Texas. Aspiring musicians will have the opportunity to be Urban’s opening act, with the audience helping to choose which musicians will remain on the tour.
