Keith Urban’s got a lot of things going for him. He’s Australia’s
biggest musical export since, I don’t know, INXS? The Wiggles? He’s
Nicole Kidman’s main squeeze, and a proud parent, with her, of a
1-year-old. And earlier this year, for the first time in his career,
one of his albums topped the Billboard 200. That album, “Defying
Gravity,” which blends country-pop and rock and redemptive themes, is
bound to inspire a stuffed crowd ready to get uplifted. Urban’s
multi-instrumental chops and big, smooth voice should deliver. Ditto
for the Atlanta duo Sugarland, who marry country, rock and sharp songwriting in the opening spot.
