Nashville’s got another opportunity to show off its pipes on TV, thanks to a little help from headliner Keith Urban, producer Blake Shelton, and new show “The Road.”
The singing competition airing on CBS in fall 2025 will be filmed at seven venues across the US, including two in Nashville: Marathon Music Works and Ryman Auditorium.
The setlist
Urban will sing some of his biggest hits, even performing his newest single “Straight Line” from the 2024 album “High.” The real drum roll is the slate of emerging talent that will join him as opening acts at each performance, and the audience members who will influence which artists continue on to the next city. The schedule shows Music City as the last stops on Friday, March 28 and Wednesday, April 2.
“I spent a lot of my underage life playing in some seedy pubs, sometimes just for the bartender,” Urban said in the news release. “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.”
Pull some strings
While there’s no guarantee you will get to be a part of the crowd, tickets to every special performance along the road are free on a first come, first served basis. Bookmark this page to re-visit once tickets for the Nashville venues are live.
