GRAMMY Award-winning icons Usher and Chris Brown officially launched The R&B Tour on June 26 with a sold-out opening night at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado.
The nearly three-hour stadium production featured an innovative format that saw the two superstars alternate performances across nine cinematic acts, creating a nonstop celebration of R&B classics. Fans were treated to career-spanning hits, from “U Remind Me” to “With You,” along with several duet performances, including a show-closing rendition of “New Flame.”
Special guests Mario and Eric Bellinger also made surprise appearances. During a DJ break, Bellinger performed his hit single “G.O.A.T,” while Mario energized the crowd with a medley of his chart-topping songs.
The opening night sparked widespread excitement online, with fans sharing clips, photos, and reactions throughout the evening. Produced by Live Nation, the tour will continue across North America with upcoming stops in Detroit, Washington, D.C., Charlotte, Nashville, and more through December.
The R&B Tour also supports Usher’s New Look, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Detroit’s Entertainment Industry Club: Live Touring Edition, and partners with Global Citizen to support education worldwide through the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. Fans can also experience the newly launched “Rhythm Section VIP Riser Experience,” a nightlife-inspired premium viewing lounge curated by Usher. Tickets and VIP packages are available now.
