Usher and Chris Brown officially announced dates Tuesday (April 14) for The R&B Tour, a 33-date co-headlining stadium run across North America produced by Live Nation. The full name is the Raymond & Brown Tour, and the billing tells you everything you need to know about what kind of show this is going to be. Two of R&B’s most dominant live performers, sharing the same stage, across some of the biggest venues in the country.

The tour kicks off June 26 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver and runs through December 11 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. In between, it hits Detroit, Washington D.C., Cleveland, Toronto, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles (two nights at SoFi Stadium on September 25 and 26), Las Vegas, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, New Orleans, Miami, and more.

Tickets go on sale in stages: the Citi presale opens April 21 at 12 p.m. local time, followed by The R&B Tour presale on April 23. General public tickets go on sale April 27 at 12 p.m. local time at RaymondAndBrownTour.com. VIP packages are also available and include premium tickets, a behind-the-scenes tour, access to a pre-show VIP lounge, and exclusive merchandise.

The announcement follows a cinematic joint trailer the two dropped on April 10 that set fan timelines on fire before a single date had been confirmed. The duo has history worth celebrating together: they’ve collaborated on “New Flame,” “Party,” and the “Back to Sleep” remix, all of which landed on the Billboard Hot 100. But they’ve never headlined a tour together, which is exactly what makes this a genuine event.

Both artists are arriving at this in peak form. At the end of 2024, the North American leg of Usher’s Past, Present, Future tour sold over 1.1 million tickets across 62 sold-out shows. SoFi Stadium For Brown, the Breezy Bowl XX tourwrapped last October having grossed $295.5 million across 49 shows, selling nearly 2 million tickets. The trek became the highest-grossing tour ever by a solo Black American male artist. Cleveland Browns

Brown also arrives with new music in hand. His CB’s Brown album is slated to drop May 8, giving him fresh material to fold into a setlist that already spans two decades of hits.

The tour will partner with Global Citizen to donate $1 for every ticket sold to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, supporting access to quality education for children around the world. Cleveland Browns

The R&B Tour runs June 26 through December 11, 2026.
