The "Love, Pain & the whole crazy Carnival Ride Tour" will kick-off January 31, with all tickets going on sale December 1. While the tour's locations have been announced, dates and venues are still forthcoming.
The tour's name is a combination of each of the artists' most recent albums, with Underwood's sophomore effort "Carnival Ride" debuting at No. 1 on Billboard's The Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums album sales charts after moving 527,000 copies in its first week of release.
"I can't think of a better person to begin 2008 with than Keith," said Underwood, who received two 2007 Country Music Association awards at last week's ceremony. "He is an amazing entertainer and a well-respected musician, singer and songwriter."
"I'm looking forward to hitting the road with Carrie, and to bringing our audiences together for what I think will be a magical night of sights, sounds, songs and solos," added Urban.
