Usher x Chris Brown: Hottest Ticket in Town

GRAMMY Award-winning icons USHER and Chris Brown announced eight new stadium dates for The R&B Tour, extending the co-headlining run to 59 total dates following incredible fan demand and a successful first stretch across North America.

The newly announced dates include first-time stops in Baltimore, Cincinnati, Columbia and Indianapolis, along with additional performances in several of the tour’s highest-demand markets, including a fifth show in Atlanta, fourth in Los Angeles, and third in both East Rutherford and Miami.

Since kicking off with a sold-out show at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver in June, The R&B Tour has quickly become one of the summer’s biggest live music events, bringing USHER and Chris Brown’s career-spanning catalogs together in a nearly three-hour stadium production. The tour has also earned strong reviews for its ambitious production and unique co-headlining format, which sees USHER and Chris Brown trading the spotlight throughout nine cinematic acts rather than performing traditional back-to-back headline sets.

The show moves seamlessly between their respective catalogs, featuring hits including “U Remind Me,” “With You” and “Yeah!,” along with joint performances including “New Flame.” Throughout the night, the two artists also pay tribute to the R&B and music legends who helped pave the way, with special moments honoring Prince, Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye woven into the show.

“Brown and Usher… delivered a seamless performance. The three-hour bonanza was littered with dance numbers, acrobatic moves, special guests ranging from Lil Baby to 50 Cent and, of course, picture-perfect moments of Brown and Usher crossing paths onstage to deliver their classic collaborations” – Billboard
