Two of R&B’s most influential hitmakers are joining forces for a massive stadium run next year — and St. Louis is on the list.
Grammy Award-winning icons Chris Brown and Usher have officially announced dates for The R&B (Raymond and Brown) Tour, a 2026 co-headlining show that will stretch across North America. The tour will bring both superstars to The Dome at America’s Center on July 21, 2026.
The announcement comes after the pair surprised fans with a joint teaser commercial on Instagram last week — a move that immediately set social media buzzing and fueled speculation about what the two longtime chart-toppers were planning.
Produced by Live Nation, the 33-date tour kicks off June 26 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver and will hit major cities including Detroit, Chicago, Toronto, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Houston and Miami before wrapping December 11 in Tampa. The tour also includes a philanthropic partnership: for every ticket sold, $1 will be donated to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, supporting access to quality education for children around the world.
Usher closed out 2024 with a record-breaking North American run of his Past, Present, Future tour — selling more than 1.1 million tickets across 62 sold-out shows, many of them multi-night engagements. A successful European leg followed, cementing his status as one of R&B’s most enduring live performers.
Chris Brown is coming off a milestone of his own. Last fall, he wrapped his sold-out BREEZY BOWL XX WORLD TOUR, celebrating the 20th anniversary of his career. The tour became his highest-grossing to date — and the highest-grossing tour ever by a solo Black American male artist — earning nearly $300 million and drawing more than 2 million fans across North America, Europe and the U.K.
With both artists at the height of their touring power, The R&B Tour is expected to be one of the most in-demand live events of 2026.
