Usher is taking his show on the road!
The “Love in this Club” singer, 45, announced he will be embarking on a North American tour this year following his performance at the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show and the end of his Las Vegas residency.
The Live Nation tour, dubbed the USHER: Past Present Future tour, will feature music from throughout his 30-year career, including hits from his first album, 1994’s Usher, to new singles from his ninth studio album Coming Home, which is set for release on Feb. 9, ahead of the Super Bowl.
“Usher is bringing his smooth R&B tracks, infectious smile and slick moves to fans all across the globe,” read a press release for the tour.
The tour is slated to start on Aug. 20 at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. before heading to cities like Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Toronto, Canada. The tour will wrap at Chicago’s United Center on Oct. 29 after 24 dates.
Fans who are Citi card members or Verizon customers will have a chance to snag tickets for U.S. dates beginning on Wednesday, Feb. 7 at 10 a.m. local time until Sunday, Feb. 11 at 10 p.m. through either the Citi Entertainment program or Verizon website. The general sale will begin Monday, Feb. 12 at 10 a.m. local time at LiveNation.com.
The tour will also offer VIP packages, which can include “Meet & Greet” and photo opportunities with Usher, access to a pre-show VIP Lounge, a specially designed VIP gift item and more.
The announcement comes as the “My Boo” performer prepares to headline the Super Bowl halftime show next week. In an interview with Good Morning America, Usher revealed that he is putting the spotlight on R&B for the much-anticipated performance and highlighting those who have inspired him.
“I didn’t start where I am now, and I didn’t get there by myself,” he said. “So, everybody that has been a part of it, I’m carrying them with me. All of my fans, my loved ones — the people who may have felt like they have been forgotten, they haven’t. I’m carrying you right with me when I walk on that stage that night.”
