Due to overwhelming fan demand, GRAMMY Award-winning R&B icons USHER and Chris Brown have officially announced the addition of eight new stadium dates to their co-headlining The R&B Tour.
The newly added stops extend the massive North American run to a total of 59 dates. The tour will now visit several new cities for the first time—including Baltimore, Cincinnati, Columbia, and Indianapolis—while adding additional performances in high-demand markets like Atlanta (a fifth show), Los Angeles (a fourth show), and East Rutherford and Miami (both receiving a third show).
Since launching in June at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, The R&B Tour has rapidly solidified its status as one of the summer’s most significant live music events. The Live Nation-produced tour brings the artists’ career-spanning catalogs together in a three-hour stadium production that abandons the traditional back-to-back headline format.
Instead, USHER and Chris Brown seamlessly alternate the spotlight across nine cinematic acts. The show navigates through massive hits like “U Remind Me,” “With You,” and “Yeah!,” culminating in joint performances of collaborative tracks like “New Flame.” Woven throughout the sprawling setlist are dedicated tribute moments honoring foundational legends such as Prince, Michael Jackson, and Marvin Gaye.
Supporting the headliners on stage are R&B mainstays Mario, Eric Bellinger, and Tank, who provide live backing vocals before stepping into the spotlight to perform selections from their own hit catalogs. The tour has also become renowned for its surprise guest appearances, which have so far included 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, Future, Fat Joe, Jadakiss, Ashanti, and Method Man.
The ambitious production has garnered widespread critical acclaim and shattered multiple venue and revenue records during its first stretch.
