Chris Brown is closing September in the middle of one of the largest R&B touring runs of the year. Brown and Usher’s co-headlining stadium tour played State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on September 29 and continues into October and beyond.

Upcoming dates include El Paso on October 3, San Antonio on October 5 and Houston on October 9, followed by November stadium dates in Atlanta and New Orleans and December stops in Miami and Tampa.

The tour arrives during a year in which Brown also remained visible in major award-show conversation. His “It Depends/Obvious” was nominated for Best R&B at the 2026 MTV VMAs; Bruno Mars ultimately won the category.

The scale of the Usher/Brown pairing is notable for R&B. Stadium touring remains difficult for most artists outside the largest pop, country and rock acts, making the sustained run a marker of the two singers’ continuing draw as live performers.

Amplifier Take: Touring remains one of the clearest tests of whether an artist can move large numbers of people into the same place. This run is built around that old-fashioned metric at stadium scale.
