Two of the most commercially dominant names in R&B history are joining forces for a tour that reflects exactly how big both of their legacies have become. Usher and Chris Brown are co-headlining a 33-date North American stadium run this summer under the banner of “The R&B Tour: Raymond & Brown” and the scale of the production, exclusively booked into NFL-sized venues across the United States and Canada, signals that this is not a nostalgia exercise. It is a genuine event.
The tour kicks off June 26 in Denver and stretches all the way through December, with multi-night stops in cities including Detroit, Washington D.C., East Rutherford, Toronto, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Atlanta. For two artists whose combined catalog spans decades of chart-topping R&B, the demand for tickets is expected to be substantial from the moment they go on sale.
How to get tickets before the general public does
Fans looking to secure their seats before the April 27 general on-sale have several presale options available right now. Citi cardmembers have the earliest access, with their presale window opening Tuesday, April 21, at 12 p.m. local time and running through Wednesday, April 22, at 10 p.m. local time via Ticketmaster. An artist presale follows on Thursday, April 23, beginning at 12 p.m. local time for fans who have signed up directly through the artists’ channels.

Two careers that earned this moment
The pairing makes intuitive sense for anyone who has followed R&B over the past three decades. Usher emerged in the late 1990s and built one of the genre’s most enduring catalogs, with albums including My Way, 8701 and Confessions the latter of which remains one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century and produced classics including Yeah!, Burn and U Got It Bad. His 2024 album Coming Home debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, and his Super Bowl LVIII halftime performance reminded an entire generation exactly why his reputation is what it is.
Chris Brown arrived on the scene in the mid-2000s with his self-titled debut and the No. 1 single Run It, and has since maintained a consistent commercial presence across an extensive catalog of hits including With You, Forever, Kiss Kiss and Under the Influence. His 2023 album 11:11 won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Album in 2025, adding formal industry recognition to a fanbase that has remained devoted across the full arc of his career, which has also included significant legal and public controversy.
The two artists crossed paths musically in the past, most notably when Usher appeared on the remix of Brown’s 2014 single New Flame, but this tour represents their first full co-headlining collaboration at stadium scale a milestone for both artists and for R&B as a live music genre.
