Chris Brown And Usher Announce Joint 2026 Tour After Super Bowl Reunion...
R&B stars Chris Brown and Usher have officially announced a co-headlining U.S. tour set to kick off in September 2026. The news comes just two months after their viral Super Bowl halftime show performance, which reignited interest in their collaboration.
The 25-city "Legends of R&B" tour will begin in Las Vegas on September 12 and run through December, hitting major markets including New York, Atlanta, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Ticket presales start April 15 through Ticketmaster, with general sales beginning April 18.
The announcement has sparked massive excitement among fans, with #CBxUsherTour trending nationwide on Twitter. The duo last toured together briefly in 2011 before creative differences paused their joint performances.
Industry analysts predict the tour could be one of the highest-grossing R&B events of the decade. Both artists are currently riding career highs - Usher following his acclaimed Super Bowl show and Brown after his recent Grammy win for Best R&B Album.
A source close to the production told Billboard the show will feature "a mix of solo hits and surprise collaborations" between the two artists. The stage design is reportedly inspired by classic 1990s R&B tours with modern production elements.
Controversy has followed the announcement, with some critics pointing to Brown's past legal issues. However, promoters emphasize the tour's focus on celebrating R&B music history and bringing generations of fans together.
Tour dates were strategically scheduled to avoid conflicts with Usher's ongoing Las Vegas residency, which wraps in July. Brown is currently finishing his European tour before shifting focus to the joint production.
Fans can expect to hear hits like Usher's "Yeah!" and Brown's "Forever" alongside new material. Both artists have confirmed they're working on a collaborative single to be released before the tour begins.
The announcement comes as streaming data shows a 217% increase in plays of both artists' catalogs since their Super Bowl performance. Industry experts say this demonstrates strong demand for their joint tour.
