Keith Urban is going to be spending half of 2022 on the road.

On Wednesday (December 1), the country veteran, 54, announced the North American dates as part of his "The Speed of Now World Tour." The trek, which will kick off in Tampa, Florida, will make stops in Canada, before venturing throughout the United States. To announce the trek, Urban showed off his acting chops in a one-minute promo video, where he pretended to rehearse for the stage show in an empty backyard with little to no resources. "[I'm most looking forward to] re-igniting that person-to-person connection I feel with everyone that comes out to see our shows," he told PEOPLE in conjunction with the skit. "It's pure magic when you look out and see everyone just letting loose. I've really missed that!"

Urban, who will be joined by Ingrid Andress as his opening act, will perform a clash of new and old material — particularly cuts from his September 2020 LP, The Speed of Now Part 1. "I can't wait to play those," he gushed about the setlist. "Visually, I think it's really important to create something that lends itself to the show's energy, but it's a bit early to know exactly what that'll be for this tour — I have a few ideas though! I'm just so looking forward to playing, playing, playing!"

"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 continued. "I've always considered myself a live performer first. It's what I've always done and it's what my music needs to live and breathe. Our shows are all about living in the moment. They're a totally interactive and immersive experience where everyone can participate in whatever way they want — sing, dance, do whatever."

Tickets to "The Speed of Now World Tour" will go on sale on December 10 at 10 AM local time. Click here for more information!
