Chris Brown and Usher cancel four October dates on joint R&B Tour
Chris Brown and Usher have cancelled four stadium dates on their joint R&B Tour, leaving one October show before a break until November. The cancellations were announced on Oct. 9.
The cancelled dates are Oct. 17 at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Oct. 24 at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, Oct. 29 at Williams Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina, and Oct. 31 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, according to tour organisers Billboard.
The only remaining October date is Oct. 15 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The tour is then scheduled to resume in Atlanta on Nov. 5, with five shows planned there starting that date Complex.
Tour organisers said the promoter cancelled the select dates to prioritise the health and well-being of the touring party and crew. The promoter also said the decision followed what it described as an extensive run of sold-out shows.
The pause comes as Brown is due back in a court in the United Kingdom on Oct. 26 for sentencing in a nightclub assault case. He must alert the authorities of his return to the UK by Oct. 25.
Brown pleaded guilty in July to a lesser affray charge, an offence involving fighting or violent disorder. Charges of assault and causing grievous bodily harm were dropped. He faces a maximum of three years in prison for the affray misdemeanour.
The case relates to an incident at a London nightclub in February 2023, in which Brown allegedly struck producer Amadou "Abe" Diaw in the head with a bottle. Prosecutors have described the incident as a "vicious and unprovoked attack" WRTV.
Brown was arrested in May 2025 on arrival in the UK for European dates on his Breezy Bowl XX tour. He was charged with assault, suspicion of grievous bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon. He was released on $6.75 million bail six days after the arrest.
