NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP): Turns out Keith Urban's 2011 Get Closer Tour is aptly named.

The country superstar will unveil a new stage design when his tour starts Thursday in Biloxi, Mississippi. Urban often tucks away ideas he comes up with while standing on stage in front of thousands of fans. He noticed on his last tour that when he descended ramps at each end of the stage, nearby fans were practically in the concert.
