Usher and Chris Brown Cancel Four Mid‑October U.S. Stadium Shows

Promoter cited the health and sustainability of the touring party, and the cancellations coincide with Brown’s required return to the U.K. for sentencing.

Overview

  • The promoter notified fans on Oct. 9 and Oct. 10 that four R&B Tour dates between Oct. 17 and Oct. 31 were canceled, removing shows in Baltimore, Cincinnati (Paycor Stadium), Columbia, S.C., and Indianapolis.
  • Ticketmaster told buyers they will receive automatic refunds to their original payment method within 14 to 21 days and said transferred tickets will be returned to the original purchaser.
  • The promoter said the move was made to prioritize the health and sustainability of the touring party and crew after an extensive run of sold‑out stadium shows.
  • The cancellations come as Chris Brown must return to the U.K. by Oct. 25 for sentencing on an affray plea from a 2023 incident, and the tour is scheduled to resume Nov. 5 with five shows in Atlanta.
  • Neither Usher nor Chris Brown had posted public statements about the cancellations in the coverage reviewed, and outlets did not identify any additional canceled dates beyond the four announced.
