Keith Urban already knew his fans liked his recent tour, but he just earned an award for it, too. The Country star and his tour sponsor KC Masterpiece earned the Billboard Concert Marketing and Promotion Award for the Escape Together World Tour.

The tour, which just finished its dates in the United States and Canada, is headed to Australia next. But Urban will finish up in time to enjoy the holidays with his wife, Nicole Kidman, and daughter Sunday Rose.

The New Zealand-born Aussie also scored four nominations for the Country Music Association of Australia Awards, including Best Male Artist and Best Album for Defying Gravity.

Next on the singer’s schedule are the American Music Awards, where Urban, along with Carrie Underwood, are the only two Country acts scheduled to perform. The ceremony will be broadcast live on ABC on Sunday night. 

Urban is nominated for Best Male Country Artist along with Jason Aldean and Darius Rucker. Urban is also in the running for Best Male Artist and Best Country Artist in the People's Choice Awards, competing against some of Country's biggest stars, including Tim McGraw and Toby Keith.
