Usher says – “Europe, you ready? After the epic experience at the Super Bowl and the huge demand for shows across North America, I’m happy to announce I’m coming your way as well - for shows in London, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin. This tour is both a celebration of the past 30 years and a glimpse into the future. We are just getting started!" 

Usher will be performing in celebration of his 30-year storied career including songs from COMING HOME, his ninth studio album, which was released on February 9, via mega/gamma. and became his seventh Top 10 album in the UK. Expect breathtaking showmanship, greatest hits, new classics and a night to remember.

The multi-platinum, 8-time GRAMMY award-winning, global entertainment icon left the world awed after his performance at the Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show featuring special guests Alicia Keys, Ludacris, Lil Jon, H.E.R., Will.i.am and Jermaine Dupri. On the world’s biggest stage, during the most watched Super Bowl of all time, it was an epic medley of hits including “Caught Up,” “U Got It Bad,” “Love In This Club,” and “Yeah!” - showing the millions across the globe what makes an Usher show so special.

This Phenomenal Man puts on thee Best performance. When you see him live even if you weren't a fan you become a fan by the opening of the concert. He gives 1000 percent to the fans when he performes whether it's in state or international. I will Always support this Euphoric Artist, Always worth my time and money.

Report as inappropriate

The entire lineup for the show was great. I was kinda disappointed in Usher however. He did more dancing than singing. He had a good set list though. After waiting for over 30 minutes for his appearance though it was just not as good as it could have been.

He was born in Chattanooga Tennessee I went to school with him damn how money changes where u come from guess h3 doesn't remember singing to me at his last day in Chattanooga and he promised to come back hehehehe still one of my favorite singers

Other than Taylor, no one does REAL world tours anymore. Just America, UK and France

Who TF is Taylor?

….get rid of your annoying ads!!

LMAOOO MEANWHILE CHRISSY BROWN IS RUNNING AROUND BEGGING TO PLAY IN A BASKETBALL GAME LMAOOO 😂😂😂

People are saying his ticket prices are through the roof, but I just looked at J.Lo’s VIP meet and greet and it’s almost more than Usher and Janet’s VIP combined… $3,500 before taxes and fees. That’s insane for any artist.

• Juicy Comments

Usher serves up a hearty helping of scintillating for ESSENCE Magazine’s Sexiest Man of the Moment issue.

For years, fans and critics alike have pitted Usher and Justin Timberlake against each other.

However, not only are the chart-toppers supportive of each other, but they actually were in the process of cooking up material together.

The Daily Lowdown: Usher announces UK and Europe tour dates - here's all you need to know

The yeah singer is coming to the uk in 2025.

Welcome to the   Daily Lowdown podcast from HELLO! . In this episode, we're talking about Usher finally dropping the UK and Europe dates for his Past, Present and Future tour.

The singer will be heading to London, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam in 2025 for a string of gigs next year. Only six dates have been revealed so far, but fans can hope that if demand is high, he may release more. Watch this space.

Not only that, Madonna takes a tumble while performing on her tour, Beyonce is on track for her sixth number one on the UK Charts, and BAFTA speaks out about stage intruder during the ceremony. 

Listen to the episode in full below…

It's the news we've been waiting for – Usher is coming to the UK. The superstar has announced that he will be bringing his Past Present and Future tour to London and beyond in 2025 for a string of gigs. Usher will head to London's O2 arena on the 1st, 2nd, and 5th of April next year, before heading to mainland Europe for shows in Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin. Fans can get access to tickets through the Live Nation pre-sale which is on Wednesday at 10 am by signing into their My Live Nation account. 

However, fans will also have the chance to purchase tickets through Live Nation's general sale which is on Thursday 22 at midday. Although only six dates have been confirmed so far, if the demand is anything like Usher's US tour shows, then fans can hope that the Grammy-winning artist might announce more dates. We'll keep you posted. 

Madonna is continuing on her huge world tour but she suffered a bit of mishap during her Celebration concert in Seattle. The Holiday hitmaker took a tumble on stage as she was being pulled on a chair by a dancer while performing her hit song Open Your Heart. The dancer lost their footing before hitting the floor which meant Madonna fell off the chair in the process. But, the music icon was ever-the-professional and even laughed off the fall, before continuing on with the song and not missing a single note. 

Beyonce is on track to bag her sixth UK No1 single this week with her massive new release, Texas Hold 'Em. The singer dropped the country track following the Super Bowl and it's become hugely popular and sped to the top of the streaming charts as well as going viral on TiKTok. But Queen Bey could face some competition with Dua Lipa after the Levitating hitmaker dropped her new single last week called Training Ground. Currently, Noah Kahan's stick season is at number one but is predicted to drop if Beyonce and Dua reign as champions. We'll find out the results on Friday. 

BAFTA has said it's investigating a security breach after an imposter invaded the stage during Sunday night's ceremony. The stage invasion occurred while Oppenheimer's director and lead actors Christopher Nolan and Cillian Murphy were accepting the award for Best Film at the end of the night. The gate-crasher was seen standing in the background among the award recipients but did not make any attempt to speak. BAFTA said it didn't wish to grant even more publicity to the prankster, who has not yet been named, but insisted it was taking the incident very seriously and confirmed that they were removed by security. 

And tributes have been pouring in for late Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Robin Windsor who has died aged 44. The Latin and Ballroom champion was a professional on the BBC dance show between 2010 and 2015 and was also a founding member of the dance troupe, Burn the Floor, who confirmed his death in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Robin was described as a member of their family whose talent, energy and personality helped create the Burn the Floor stage reputation and he will be sorely missed. A cause of death has not yet been confirmed. Fellow Strictly stars including Craig Revel Horwood and Brendan Cole described him as a great friend and an amazing talent. We're sending our love and thoughts to his family and friends.

Usher’s London residency reaches double figures

The American R&B star has sold out 16 arena shows across Europe to date for his 2025 USHER: Past Present Future Tour

By James Hanley on 18 Mar 2024

image © Bellamy Brewster

Usher’s residency at The O2 in London as part of his 2025 European tour has stretched to a tenth and final show.

The 45-year-old R&B superstar has already sold out nine nights at the venue for 1-2, 5-6, 8-9 & 11 April and 6-7 May, and will now also perform on 29 March due to “incredible demand”.

London’s flagship venue hosted four concert and residencies in 2023 by Elton John (10), Micky Flanagan (9), Madonna (6) and Chris Brown (6), with 2024 highlights set to include Take That (6), The Killers (6), Girls Aloud (5), Olivia Rodrigo (4) and Liam Gallagher (4).

“Residencies are something that are becoming more and more important in the way we programme the venue,” says Emma Bownes, VP of venue programming at The O2, told IQ last year .

“There is a huge demand for live music at the moment at arena, stadium and outdoor level, so artists are realising they can serve the amount of fan demand by sitting down at The O2. We’re lucky that we’re in London and there’s a huge catchment area of really active music fans. I can see that an artist will opt to play potentially 10 shows at The O2 rather than looking at a stadium or a festival headline slot.”

The USHER: Past Present Future run has sold out 16 concerts across Europe so far

Next year’s USHER: Past Present Future run has sold out 16 concerts across Europe so far, also including stops at Accor Arena in Paris (15-16 April), Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome (22-23, 25-26 & 28 April) and Berlin’s Uber Arena (1-2 & 4 May).

Aside from his eight-night residency at Paris’ La Seine Musicale in 2023 , the Live Nation-produced dates will be his first European shows since 2015’s UR Tour .

The eight-time Grammy Award-winner headlined the Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show last month, joined by special guests Alicia Keys, Ludacris, Lil Jon, H.E.R., Will.i.am and Jermaine Dupri. The performance followed his two-year My Way: The Las Vegas Residency run , which grossed more than $100 million from 100 sellout shows.

How to get Usher tickets: Fans report pain in trying to book London dates

Fans of Usher have been left in delight and frustration after tickets went on sale for his European tour on Thursday.

The RnB star will play six dates at London’s O2 arena in April 2025 followed by concerts in Berlin, Paris and Amsterdam.

Other than eight shows in Paris in 2023, the star has not played in Europe since 2015.

But fans hoping to catch the 45-year-old on the back of his Super Bowl half-time show were not all happy about the process of getting tickets .

One London-based fan told the Evening Standard that she had been wanting to catch the rare chance to see the singer perform hits of his 30-year career.

“Me and two friends - all of us on our own device - were admitted after 10 minutes waiting time but there was no seats available,” said the Usher fan, who did not wish to be named.

“And then the sites thought we were bots!”

She said that after two hours one of the group managed to select a higher band of tickets which were “stupidly expensive”.

“It was terrible,” she added. “You can get through but then cannot buy a ticket.”

On Twitter, this was shown to be a common experience - with one reporting a blank screen.

Another said: “I got seven Beyoncé tickets last year for three different dates in the toughest arena of securing tickets, the chief training ground. I couldn’t get one for Usher in 2025.”

Colleen wrote: So rude for this @TicketmasterCS. I refreshed TWICE for Usher tickets and you bin me off. I’ve was waiting on the page since 11.45am.”

“Me pulling the plug at Usher’s concert because I couldn’t get his concert tickets,” one said, with a meme.

When is Usher’s tour?

Usher on Tuesday announced he will tour Europe from April 2025.

He will play three dates at London’s O2 Arena in April 2025 followed by concerts in Berlin, Paris and Amsterdam.

There will be six shows at the O2 Arena from April 1 to 9.

He is then touring in America, visiting Texas, Vegas, Chicago and Los Angeles among other cities. 

Speaking about the tour, Usher said: “Europe, you ready? After the epic experience at the Super Bowl and the huge demand for shows across North America, I’m happy to announce I’m coming your way as well - for shows in London, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin. 

“This tour is both a celebration of the past 30 years and a glimpse into the future. We are just getting started!"

This year marks 30 years since the release of his debut, self-titled album in 1994.

The announcement comes just days after the star’s highly successful halftime performance at the Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII .

He brought out fellow musicians Alicia Keys , Lil Jon and Ludacris to perform during his hit-heavy headline slot.

The Texan-born musician kicked off his electric performance at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday 11 February with 2004 track Caught Up as the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs faced off.

During the 13-minute set, he performed favourites from his catalogue, including Bad Girl, U Got It Bad, Burn and Love In This Club, with a marching band in tow.

Keys was the first guest to make a surprise appearance to sing a segment of If I Ain’t Got You while wearing a red sparkly jumpsuit and playing a red bespoke piano, before cuddling up with Usher to duet on their 2004 hit My Boo.

Ahead of the performance, Usher also announced his latest album titled Coming Home.

He has recently closed his two-year, 100-show, Vegas residency - called My Way: The Las Vegas Residency.

Usher also reportedly married his long-term partner Jenn Goicoechea in Vegas just hours after the game ended .

Usher’s Post-Super Bowl Tour Keeps Sprinkling Additional European Dates Across London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin

Just how powerful is the Super Bowl for artists? In our latest DMN Pro Weekly Report , we exhaustively dive into the data to analyze post-game bounces for every artist performing at Super Bowl LVIII, starting with Usher. 

Fan demand for Usher across Europe sees him expanding his 2025 tour with additional dates in Amsterdam, Berlin, London, and Paris.

Usher Is Planning a Global Tour to Follow Super Bowl Halftime Show

The last time an artist used the big game to launch a new tour was Lady Gaga in 2017.

By Dave Brooks

Dave Brooks

Usher is likely to use the world’s biggest stage at Super Bowl LVIII in February to promote his first major tour in nearly a decade and become the first act to launch a tour from the big game in seven years, sources tell Billboard .

Big Sean to Headline NFL Draft Concert Series in Detroit

Trending on billboard.

Usher will also use the halftime show as a platform to launch a new album release. The Atlanta superstar will drop his ninth studio album and his first since 2016, called Coming Home , on the same day as the Super Bowl. Last year, more than 115 million people tuned in for the Super Bowl, according to the NFL, showing viewership of the annual championship game continues to grow even as more Americans “cut the cord” with their cable providers and seek out digital streaming alternatives. Despite the increase in eyeballs, the number of artists making tour announcements or adjustments have dropped dramatically.

It has been seven years since an artist took advantage of Super Bowl halftime show’s massive viewership to announce a new tour — the last was Lady Gaga in 2017. The reason for that is likely two-fold. First, there are more artists touring than ever before, making it difficult for artists to time their touring plans and album cycles around a February announcement date, especially when halftime performers aren’t typically announced until September. The second change was a new partnership with Jay-Z and Roc Nation in 2019 to curate and book the halftime show, which has favored collaborative spectacles over single artist promotion with performances by Shakira and Jennifer Lopez at the 2020 Super Bowl and Dr. Dre , Snoop Dogg , Eminem , Mary J. Blige , 50 Cent and Kendrick Lamar at the 2022 Super Bowl.

Looking at the last five Super Bowl halftime shows, from 2018 to 2022, only two were linked to tour announcements: In 2018, Justin Timberlake , announced additional dates for his Man of the Woods Tour including second American leg for Man of the Woods following his Super Bowl LII halftime performance at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. And, in 2021, The Weeknd announced the long-awaited rescheduled dates for his After Hours Tour along with 39 new shows in North America and Europe after his Super Bowl performance. (Eight months later, those rescheduled dates were cancelled a second time, and the tour was upgraded to stadiums for summer 2022.)

The preceding five-year period, 2017-2013, was far busier — four out of five of the halftime shows from this period were linked to major tour announcements.

The last artist to announce a tour immediately following their performance at the Super Bowl was Lady Gaga in 2017. The singer began her remarkable set by descending from the top of Houston’s NRG Stadium onto an on-field stage to perform “Just Dance,” “Bad Romance,” “Poker Face”. After her show wrapped, a post on her Twitter account teased out a world tour, and then hours later a follow-up tweet directed fans to website where fans could buy tickets. Coldplay ’s halftime performance in 2016 led to two major tour announcements: one for the band’s Head Full of Dreams Tour and another for their halftime co-star Beyoncé ’s Formation Tour. Beyonce also announced The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour following 2013 Super Bowl performance, while Bruno Mars announced new dates for his Moonshine Jungle Tour following his 2014 halftime show performance in 2014.

Originally, ‘Illmatic’ was shared in 1994 by a then 20-year-old Nas as his debut LP, and quickly gained momentum for painting a vivid picture of what it meant to grow up in New York in the 90’s. It contained modern-day classics including ‘N.Y State of Mind’, ‘Halftime’, ‘The World Is Yours’ and ‘It Ain’t Hard to Tell’.

Since its release, it has gone on to be certified RIAA platinum and is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential hip-hop albums of all time.

As well as announcing the upcoming tour dates, Nas has also commemorated the 30th anniversary of ‘Illmatic’ with the release of a new track, ‘Define My Name’. Produced by DJ Premier – who worked on a handful of tracks on the timeless classic, the song is out now via Mass Appeal. Check it out below.

Last September, Nas surprised fans by announcing the release of his latest album, ‘Magic 3’ –the follow-up to last July’s ‘Magic 2’ .

The LP marked the final instalment of his ‘Magic’ trilogy, which started when he shared the first album on Christmas Eve 2021 .

Ahead of his headline dates, Nas will also be performing at The Roots’ annual Roots Picnic festival in Philadelphia . The line-up for the two-day music festival was announced earlier this year, and the 2024 edition see the event return to its usual home of The Mann in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, PA on June 1-2.

What do taylor swift tickets cost after ‘tortured poets department’ release.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

A new ‘Era’ just dropped.

On Friday, April 19, at midnight, Taylor Swift released her eleventh studio album “The Tortured Poets Department.”

“An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time – one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure,” Swift wrote on Instagram , describing the ambitious record.

Two hours later, she surprised even the most devout Swifties announcing that “The Tortured Poets Department” is a 31-track (!) double album.

“I’d written so much tortured poetry in the past 2 years and wanted to share it all with you, so here’s the second installment of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 extra songs. And now the story isn’t mine anymore… it’s all yours,” she shared in a second late night post.

While fans devour the sprawling record — featuring special guests Post Malone and Florence And The Machine — Swift is gearing up for another leg of her ongoing ‘Eras Tour.’

Starting May 9, she’ll resume her international trek with four shows at Paris, FR’s La Defense Arena .

When our team last reported on tickets in early January, prices for those France gigs could be scored for as low as $797 USD before fees on Vivid Seats.

Now, prices start at $433 before fees at the time of publication.

While that downward trend doesn’t hold true for every country she’s visiting, some ticket prices are significantly lower than they were three months ago.

The lowest price we found for all 65 remaining shows was $202 before fees for a show in Lyon, FR; the biggest drop in prices for a single show was over $2,500 (!) for an Italy gig.

Want to dig a bit deeper and find out how much it will cost to see Taylor (and maybe Travis Kelce) this year at the show nearest you?

You’re in luck.

We went ahead and found the cheapest tickets for all ‘Eras Tour’ concerts now versus what they cost on Jan. 3, 2024.

Taylor Swift ‘Eras Tour’ news

Our team has been following the ‘Eras Tour’ closely over the past year.

Over the past few months, we’ve a) spoken to a Swiftie who  shared some helpful tips  about seeing Taylor live, b)  came up with a list of all the most exciting fan trends  and c)  explained the drama  surrounding her international opener Sabrina Carpenter.

Want to see how much it cost to see Taylor in the states at the outset of the ‘Eras Tour?’ You can find that information  right here .

Taylor Swift new music

As noted above, Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” was released on midnight (and subsequently at 2 a.m.) on Friday, April 19.

While every listener will likely come away with their own favorites, we particularly enjoyed the sleek synth of “Fortnight,” icy “So Long, London,” anthemic “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” bombastic slow build of “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” and gorgeously arranged ballad “Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus.”

If you want to give it a spin — if you haven’t already, that is — you can find “The Tortured Poets Department” here .

Taylor Swift opening acts

Taylor only has two opening acts lined up for the ‘Eras Tour’ this year.

Here’s what you need to know about her well-established special guests.

Paramore will play alongside Swift after mounting a massive 2023 tour of their own. The group, fronted by lead singer Hayley Williams, reunited in 2022 after a five-year hiatus. For fans that want to check out their latest, you can listen to “This Is Why,” their sixth studio album, which dropped in February 2023.

Gracie Abrams , the daughter of film director JJ Abrams and producer Katie McGrath, is a star in her own right. Her song “I miss you, I’m sorry” has upwards of 100 million streams on Spotify, she opened for Olivia Rodrigo on the 2022 “Sour Tour” and headlined her own tour last spring as well.

Huge stars on tour in 2024

Although it will cost an arm and a leg (maybe more!) to see Swift live this year, there are much more affordable concerts you can attend this year.

Here are just five of our favorite artists you won’t want to miss live.

•  Olivia Rodrigo

•  Kacey Musgraves

•  Pink

•  Chappell Roan

•  Alanis Morissette
