Keith Urban, who debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts last week with his album “Defying Gravity,” has joined the lineup for the inaugural Nashville 4 Africa benefit concert later this month.

According to Rolling Stone, the country star will share the bill with Faith Hill, Dierks Bentley, Big Kenny, Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down, the African Children’s Choir and others.

The event is scheduled to take place at the Tennessee capital’s Schermerhorn Auditorium on April 22.

Tickets are on sale now, with proceeds benefiting charities that help build schools and promote education in Africa. For more information, visit the Nashville 4 Africa website here.

“Defying Gravity,” Urban’s fifth studio album, sold close to 172,000 copies in its first week to top the Billboard 200 chart, edging out Prince’s “Lotus Flow3r” (168,000).
