Keith Urban and Usher will both help ring in the NFL season with a free concert at New York’s Columbus Circle on September 4th. Highlights from the NFL Kickoff concert will air over both NBC and the NFL Network, because both broadcasters evidently assume football fans like Usher and Keith Urban. Note to whoever schedules these things: The great majority of football fans do not like Usher or Keith Urban, as evidenced by the fact that they don’t appear on the Madden ‘09 soundtrack. The kick-off concert will lead into the season’s opening game as the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants take on their NFC East rival Washington Redskins. Last year’s kickoff show in Indianapolis featured performances by John Mellencamp, Faith Hill, Kelly Clarkson, Hinder and Keyshia Cole.
