Chris Brown & Usher: The R&B Tour (Raymond & Brown) 2026

The R&B Tour (Raymond & Brown) brings together two of the most decorated performers in R&B history for a co-headlining stadium run in summer 2026. Chris Brown, who has sold over 200 million records worldwide and earned a Grammy Award along with countless BET, Soul Train, and Billboard Music Awards, pairs up with Usher Raymond IV -- an eight-time Grammy winner with over 80 million albums sold globally. The result is a tour that spans the full spectrum of modern R&B, from Usher's early-2000s classics to Chris Brown's genre-defining catalog.

The announcement dropped April 10, 2026, alongside the release of Chris Brown's lead single "Obvious" from his upcoming 12th album BROWN (due May 22 on RCA Records). Usher, meanwhile, has been on a career renaissance since his unforgettable Super Bowl LVIII halftime show in 2024 and the subsequent Past Present Future Tour. The pairing makes perfect sense -- both artists are known for marathon-length shows, world-class choreography, and the kind of crowd engagement that turns a concert into an event.

The confirmed date at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina on July 17 signals that this is a stadium-level production. Early coverage from Billboard and Complex suggests that additional cities including Atlanta, Miami, Los Angeles, and New York are likely to follow. Fans can expect a combined setlist pulling from Chris Brown hits like "Run It!", "Kiss Kiss," "Loyal," and "Under the Influence" alongside Usher classics including "Yeah!", "Confessions Part II," "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love," and "My Boo."

With both artists at the peak of their live-show powers and the buzz from their combined fan bases reaching a fever pitch, the R&B Tour is poised to be one of the highest-grossing tours of 2026.
