Keith Urban's drive-in concert took place at a drive-in movie theater outside of Nashville. More on the special private performance here...

County music superstar Keith Urban‘s drive-in concert for first responders took place on Thursday night (5/14) at the Stardust Drive-In Movie Theater just outside of Nashville, Tennessee— the first performance of its kind in the United States. “To all of you guys here tonight, for everything that you’ve done, and continue to do, to all of your families, we say thank you – this concert is for all of you,” the star shared as the performance began.

Keith Urban’s drive-in concert was set up exclusively for more than 200 doctors, nurses, emergency medical technicians and staff from Vanderbilt Health, part of Vanderbilt University Medical Center, which has 140 locations throughout Tennessee and surrounding States. The nearly 125 vehicles honked and flashed their lights throughout the performance in support of Urban and in a show of unity.

“I did this to say thanks to the healthcare workers who are putting their lives on the line for us every day,” explained Urban. “And performing in this environment, with everyone in their cars at a safe distance from one another, seems like an amazing opportunity for everybody to just let go and have fun….and I’m a musician, I HAVE TO PLAY!”

How cool is this?! What an awesome way for Keith to show is appreciation and for the hard-working medical professionals to get a break! We hope for artists follow his example.
