LOS ANGELES — Usher and Chris Brown are teaming up for a North American stadium tour.

The joint tour, "R&B: Raymond & Brown," will begin June 26 in Denver and conclude Dec. 11, fittingly, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, the singers announced Tuesday on Instagram.

There are 33 dates scheduled, including stops in Boston, Chicago and Toronto. In California, there will be shows at Santa Clara's Levi's Stadium on Aug. 28 and Inglewood's SoFi Stadium on Sept. 25 and Sept. 26. The tour's name references Usher's birth name, Usher Raymond IV.

The singers previously shared a promotional video Friday on Instagram announcing the tour.

The video depicts the pair speeding through a city on motorcycles, chased by fans. They arrive at a stadium. An elevator door opens, and the two walk out onto a stage, greeting a packed crowd.

"It's time," Usher says in the video. "Hell yeah," Brown replies.

The artist pre-sale — which requires signing up April 21 before 7 p.m. Pacific — begins April 23, according to the tour website. General tickets go on sale April 27.

The pair has collaborated before, most recently with the 2025 song "It Depends (The Remix)," which also featured Bryson Tiller. They also worked together on Chris Brown's 2014 single "New Flame" and 2017 song "Party."

Usher started his career in the 1990s and has released nine studio albums, most recently 2024's "Coming Home." He has won eight Grammy Awards and headlined the Super Bowl halftime show in 2024.

Brown launched his recording career in the early aughts and has released 11 studio albums and won two Grammys. His 12th studio album, "Brown," is set to be released May 8.

Over the years, Brown has faced multiple legal challenges and controversies. He was arrested at a Manchester hotel in May 2025 for allegedly using a tequila bottle to attack a man in a U.K. nightclub. Earlier this year, he was granted bail ahead of a preliminary hearing in April. The trial begins in October, according to Reuters.

In 2024, Brown was sued for $50 million for allegedly attacking four fans backstage at his concert in Fort Worth, Texas (his entourage and tour promoter Live Nation were also named in the lawsuit). In 2009, he pleaded guilty to assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
