Two of R&B’s biggest names have extended their latest tour, and Cincinnati is one of the beneficiaries.
Usher & Chris Brown’s “R&B Tour” — which serves as a bit of a double entendre since the stars’ last names are Raymond and Brown — added eight new dates, with stops in Baltimore, Cincinnati, Columbia and Indianapolis. The Queen City stop is at Paycor Stadium on Oct. 24.
As you’d expect, the tour has been jam-packed with the two music icons performing their biggest hits, like “U Remind Me,” “With You” and “Yeah!,” along with joint performances including “New Flame.” The two also cover songs from various other R&B legends throughout the night, like Prince, Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye; in addition, Mario, Eric Bellinger and Tank serve as openers and background vocalists for the tour.
Each night of the tour has featured a special surprise guest; so far, examples of artists making unexpected appearances include 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, Fat Joe, Jadakiss, Ashanti, Method Man and Future.
Tickets are on sale now at the tour’s official website.
