Country singer Keith Urban [ tickets ] has confirmed dates and locations for about half the shows on his upcoming "Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy World" tour.

Urban had earlier announced a list of cities, 33 in all, that the tour would visit. The latest routing shows Urban kicking things off June 9 in Las Vegas. The trek is currently scheduled to run through mid-September, with additional details expected as the tour's kickoff date approaches.

"I'm looking forward to getting back on the road, to reconnecting with everyone and to doing what it is that I love to do," Urban said in a press release. "To finally be able to present the songs from 'Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing' live, is something that I've been looking forward to doing since recording the album."

"Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing," Urban's fourth studio album, was released in November, but the entertainer put off touring and promotional appearances to check himself into rehab for alcohol addiction.

Despite the delay, the album went to No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums Chart and scored hit singles "Stupid Boy" and Grammy-nominated cut "Once in a Lifetime."
