Chris Brown and Usher joined forces this year for a once-in-a-generation tour. The dream clash of R&B titans has filled stadiums all summer after kicking off the trek in Denver on June 26, and they’ve taken their talents across North America.
Every show has been a prolific display of singing, dancing, acrobatics and anthem after anthem from CB’s and Usher’s discographies.
On Aug. 19, Live Nation announced an eight-show extension to bring the expansive trek to 59 dates. Usher and CB will be making stops in untapped markets like Baltimore, Cincinnati and Indianapolis, while stops in Chicago, Las Vegas, New Orleans and Miami are still to come. There’s even been unexpected viral moments, like when Usher kicked a woman off stage who looked uninterested in his steamy lap dance offering during a Nashville stop.
With two of the 21st century’s R&B architects teaming up two decades into their careers, Usher likened the superstars linking up to Michael Jackson and Prince embarking on a co-headlining trek at the peak of their powers. “To be able to do something that no one has ever done at their back — like, imagine if Michael and Prince were able to do something together,” Usher told the Joe & Jada podcast.
Usher and Breezy have also had a few surprises up their sleeves, bringing out a range of special guests, including appearances from Future, 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige.
Here are all of the guests Usher and Chris Brown have brought out on the R&B Tour so far (this list will be updated).
