Usher and Chris Brown Add Paycor Stadium Stop in Cincinnati as the R&B Tour Grows to 59 Dates With a Late-October Showdown for Fans
CINCINNATI, OH — Usher and Chris Brown are bringing their joint stadium tour to Paycor Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 24, adding Cincinnati to a rapidly expanding run that now stretches to 59 dates across the United States and Canada.
The new stop arrives after a strong launch for The R&B Tour, which opened with a sold-out night in Denver and has already built a reputation for packed stadiums, big production and a format that keeps both stars in the spotlight.
A stadium show built around two deep catalogs
The tour leans on career-spanning hits instead of a standard headliner-opener setup. Usher and Brown trade center stage across nine cinematic acts, turning the concert into a nearly three-hour production with choreography, backing vocals and nonstop pacing.
Fans can expect songs such as U Remind MeWith You and Yeah!, plus collaborative moments like New Flame. The show also includes tributes to Prince, Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye, nodding to the artists who shaped the sound both men helped carry forward.
Big numbers are already following the tour
Before the Cincinnati date was announced, the run had already topped $101 million in box-office grosses across its first eight shows. More than 566,000 tickets were sold across the first 13 concerts, and every one of those shows was reported as sold out.
The production has also broken venue records along the way, including three straight nights at Detroit’s Ford Field and a three-night run at Northwest Stadium in Washington, D.C., which drew more than 122,000 fans. Live Nation is producing the tour, which also features Mario, Eric Bellinger and Tank in supporting roles.
What Cincinnati fans need to know next
Bengals STREAK members can buy tickets first, with a special presale beginning Friday, Aug. 21 at 10 a.m. General on-sale for the Cincinnati date starts Monday, Aug. 24 at 10 a.m. Fans can also look at VIP options, including Usher’s Rhythm Section package and a newly added Ultimate Meet & Greet package.
The Cincinnati concert is one of several newly added stadium stops, alongside first-time visits to Baltimore, Columbia and Indianapolis. The full run is set to close with two final shows at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on Dec. 11 and Dec. 12.
