After announcing the news last week, dates have been revealed for Chris Brown and Usher's co-headlining 'R&B' ('Raymond and Brown') tour, kicking off this summer. The 33-show stadium trek begins June 26 in Denver and will move through cities including Detroit, Nashville, Washington D.C., and more, with multiple nights at major venues such as MetLife Stadium, Allegiant Stadium, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Why it matters

The tour brings together two of the biggest names in R&B for a massive stadium run, capitalizing on both artists' recent successes and building anticipation for new music from Brown. It also represents a major live event for the genre, which has seen fewer high-profile tours in recent years.

The details

Brown is gearing up to release his 12th studio album 'BROWN' on May 8th, with the tour serving as a platform to promote the new music. Usher recently wrapped his 'Past, Present, Future' tour last year, while Brown closed out his 'Breezy Bowl XX' world tour last October, celebrating his 20-year music career. Tickets for 'The R&B Tour' go on sale April 27 through Ticketmaster and the artists' websites.

  • The tour kicks off on June 26 in Denver.
  • The tour wraps up on December 11 in Tampa.
