Usher and Chris Brown Cancel Four October Stadium Shows

Promoter statements say the cuts are meant to protect the health of the touring party and allow the tour to continue safely.

Overview

  • Promoter notifications sent to ticket buyers on Oct. 9 and Oct. 10 said four October stops would be canceled to reduce the strain of an extended stadium run.
  • The canceled shows are M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on Oct. 17, Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati on Oct. 24, Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia on Oct. 29, and Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Oct. 31.
  • Ticketmaster is issuing automatic refunds to original payment methods within 14 to 21 days and will return transferred tickets to the original purchaser.
  • News reports note that Chris Brown must return to the U.K. for sentencing by Oct. 25 but the promoter and the artists have not publicly linked that legal timeline to the cancellations and neither artist has posted an on-record explanation.
  • The tour is scheduled to resume with a five-night run at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium beginning Nov. 5, leaving fans to adjust travel plans and watch for any further schedule changes.
