Chris Brown and Usher are officially touring together in 2026 on a major North American stadium run called The R&B Tour. The co-headlining tour launched on June 26 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. The artists plan to perform across the United States and Canada through December.
Live Nation originally announced the tour as a 33-date run, but additional performances have since appeared on current ticket listings in cities including Birmingham, Chicago, Santa Clara, Arlington, Houston, Atlanta, New Orleans, Miami and Tampa. Fans should therefore check the latest event listing before arranging travel because concert schedules can be expanded, rescheduled or otherwise updated. The original announcement and current ticket information are available through the official Live Nation tour announcement and the official Raymond and Brown Tour website.

Are Chris Brown and Usher Touring Together?
Yes. Chris Brown and Usher are sharing the stage as co-headliners rather than appearing as part of separate back-to-back tours.
Both performers receive headline billing, and the production has been designed around their individual catalogs, dancing, stage presence and shared history in contemporary R&B. The official event title used by Live Nation and Ticketmaster is The R&B Tour — Starring Usher Raymond & Chris Brown.
The name also works as a play on two meanings. R&B refers to the music genre, while Raymond and Brown are the artists’ names. The official tour website uses the Raymond and Brown branding throughout its schedule and merchandise sections.
Why the Chris Brown and Usher Tour Matters
The tour brings together two performers whose careers cover different eras of modern R&B.
Usher’s catalog includes music from the 1990s, 2000s and later decades, while Chris Brown’s career has combined R&B, pop and hip-hop since the mid-2000s. Putting both artists in stadiums allows the production to reach several generations of listeners in one show.
Usher has described the tour as something larger than a competition between two stars. In an interview with the Associated Press, he presented it as a demonstration that R&B artists and audiences can support stadium-scale live productions. He also said the artists approached rehearsals with mutual admiration rather than treating the show as a contest.
The stadium format follows successful solo touring periods for both performers. Live Nation reported that Usher’s Past, Present, Future tour sold more than 1.1 million tickets across its North American dates, while Chris Brown’s Breezy Bowl XX World Tour drew approximately 2 million attendees and generated nearly $300 million.

How to Buy Chris Brown and Usher Tour Tickets
Tickets can be found through the official tour website, which directs fans to the authorized seller for each venue.
Depending on the stadium, the authorized seller may be Ticketmaster, Live Nation, SeatGeek or a venue-specific platform. Fans can also view currently available events through the official Ticketmaster artist page.
The public sale originally began on April 27, 2026, following Citi and tour presales. Because the general sale has already started, fans do not normally need an old presale code to purchase standard available tickets. However, some newly added dates may receive their own presale or sale schedule.
Ticket-buying tips
- Begin with the official tour website instead of an advertisement or an unfamiliar search result.
- Confirm the exact date, city and venue before paying.
- Review whether a listing is a standard ticket, official platinum ticket, resale ticket or VIP package.
- Check the complete price after taxes and service charges.
- Confirm the venue’s age, bag and entry policies.
- Avoid sending payment directly to unknown social-media sellers.
- Do not assume two concerts in the same city have identical seat availability or prices.
Ticket prices are not identical across the tour. The total depends on the city, seat location, demand, ticket type, fees and whether the ticket is being sold at its original price or through resale.
Are VIP Packages Available?
Yes. Live Nation says the tour offers multiple VIP packages, although the exact contents vary by show and package level.
Possible benefits may include:
- A premium concert ticket
- Access to a pre-show VIP lounge
- An invitation to a behind-the-scenes tour
- Exclusive VIP merchandise
- Additional venue-specific benefits
A VIP upgrade does not always include admission. Buyers should carefully check whether the selected package includes a concert ticket or must be combined with a separately purchased seat.
Official details for available experiences can be checked through the event page or VIP Nation. Live Nation’s announcement states that package contents vary according to the selected offer.
What Songs Could Chris Brown and Usher Perform?
There is no guarantee that every city will receive exactly the same performance. Setlists can change because of timing, guests, venue restrictions, production decisions or new music.
A recent tour setlist displayed by Live Nation for the July 21 performance in St. Louis included a mixture of joint appearances and individual sections.
Usher songs appearing on the recent setlist included:
- “Yeah!”
- “Caught Up”
- “U Don’t Have to Call”
- “Love in This Club”
- “Daddy’s Home”
- “U Remind Me”
- “You Make Me Wanna…”
- “My Boo”
- “Burn”
- “OMG”
- “Climax”
- “U Got It Bad”
- “Confessions Part II”
Chris Brown songs appearing on the recent setlist included:
- “Poppin’”
- “Wall to Wall”
- “Deuces”
- “Loyal”
- “Look at Me Now”
- “Run It!”
- “Residuals”
- “Privacy”
- “Yo (Excuse Me Miss)”
- “Back to Sleep”
- “Under the Influence”
- “With You”
- “Forever”
- “No Guidance”
- “New Flame”
The same listing showed both artists performing together during portions of the show. The setlist contained more than 50 entries, but that number should not be treated as a guaranteed song count for every performance.
Is Mario Appearing on the R&B Tour?
Current Live Nation event pages show Mario-related upgrades for a number of dates, and the recent St. Louis setlist included performances of “Just a Friend 2002,” “Crying Out for Me” and “Let Me Love You.”
That indicates Mario is appearing at least at selected performances. However, fans should check the lineup displayed for their specific city rather than assuming every supporting artist will appear at every show.
What Time Do the Concerts Start?
Many current Ticketmaster and Live Nation listings show a scheduled start time of 7 p.m. local time, but this may vary by city.
The time printed on a ticket may represent the beginning of the event rather than the exact time Chris Brown or Usher takes the stage. Stadium entry, supporting performances and production changes can affect the headliners’ start times.
Fans should rely on the details inside their official mobile ticket and any email sent by the venue shortly before the concert.
Is the Chris Brown and Usher Tour Coming to Europe?
As of July 25, 2026, the officially listed R&B Tour schedule covers North America, with concerts in the United States and Toronto, Canada.
No United Kingdom or wider European leg appears in the current official schedule. That does not prove that international shows will never be announced, but fans should treat any unconfirmed social-media date as a rumor until it appears on the artists’ official channels or the official tour website.
What Makes This a Co-Headlining Tour?
A co-headlining tour gives both main artists significant billing and performance time. It is different from a traditional concert where one artist serves as the headliner and another performs only a short opening set.
The current show structure combines:
- Joint stage moments
- A dedicated Usher section
- A dedicated Chris Brown section
- Dance-heavy production
- Major hits from both catalogs
- Supporting performances at selected dates
- Large-scale stadium staging
The recent setlist indicates that the concert moves repeatedly between the two headliners rather than placing one complete performance before the other.
The Tour’s Global Citizen Partnership
The R&B Tour is also connected to an education initiative.
Live Nation says $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. The fund is intended to support access to quality education for children around the world.
This contribution is tied to ticket sales and does not require fans to make a separate donation during checkout.
