Chris Brown and Usher’s R&B Tour just got even more massive. Due to overwhelming demand, the R&B icons have added eight new shows to their co-headlining stadium tour, bringing their total North American run to 59.
The newly added dates include new stops in Baltimore, Cincinnati and Indianapolis, plus a fifth show in Atlanta and a fourth in Los Angeles.
Fans can sign up to access the artist presale now through Tuesday (Aug. 18) at 10 p.m. ET. The Citi Presale begins Wednesday (Aug. 19) at 10 a.m. local time, followed by the artist presale on Thursday (Aug. 20) at 10 a.m. local time, alongside other presales. Tickets go on sale to the general public Monday (Aug. 24) at 10 a.m. local time.
The R&B Tour kicked off June 26 in Denver at Empower Field at Mile High. According to Live Nation, the stadium tour grossed more than $101 million across the tour’s first eight shows alone. Further, over 566,000 tickets were sold across the first 13 concerts — all sold out.
Beyond that, the tour is already making history. It became the first concert tour at Detroit’s Ford Field to play three consecutive nights in the venue’s nearly 25-year history.
At its three-night run at Washington, D.C.’s Northwest Stadium, it set a new venue attendance record, drawing over 122,000 fans, and marked the first-ever three-night concert run in the stadium’s history.
Up next, Usher and Brown will visit Chicago, where they’ll play two nights at Soldier Field Stadium, followed by three shows at San Francisco’s Levi’s Stadium. The tour will conclude in Tampa, where they’ll play at Raymond James Stadium on Dec. 11 and Dec. 12.
