Chris Brown and Usher have officially announced The R&B Tour, a 33-date co-headlining stadium run across North America in 2026. The outing, produced by Live Nation, opens Friday, June 26 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver and closes Friday, December 11 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.
The tour will hit major markets including Detroit, Chicago, Toronto, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Houston and Miami, giving the two R&B stars a long stadium circuit in the U.S. and Canada. For fans searching for chris brown and usher tour tickets, the first chance arrives with a Citi presale on Tuesday, April 21 at 12 p.m. local time through the Citi Entertainment program, while general on sale begins Monday, April 27 at 12 p.m. local time on RaymondAndBrownTour.com.
The announcement lands after the pair posted a joint teaser commercial on Instagram last week, a sign that the rollout was coming fast. It also follows two huge solo runs: at the end of 2024, the North American leg of Usher’s Past, Present, Future sold more than 1.1 million tickets and played 62 sold-out shows, while Brown wrapped his sold-out BREEZY BOWL XX WORLD TOUR last October after drawing 2 million fans across stadiums in North America, Europe and the United Kingdom and earning nearly $300 million.
The scale of those numbers explains why this tour matters now. Brown and Usher are not being introduced as nostalgia acts; they are arriving as artists who can still fill stadiums on their own, which makes a co-headlining run a rare test of how much demand remains when two names with that kind of history share the same bill. The tour will also partner with Global Citizen to donate $1 for every ticket sold to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, tying the commercial launch to a cause outside the box office.
Fans who want a shot at presale access must sign up by Tuesday, April 21 at 10 p.m. ET. Citi cardmembers can buy earlier than the broader presale window, and the tour will also offer VIP packages that include premium tickets, a behind-the-scenes tour, access to the pre-show VIP Lounge and exclusive merchandise. If the past year from both singers is any guide, the real question is not whether the tour will draw a crowd, but how quickly the most sought-after dates disappear once the sale opens.
