Game on.
Eight months removed from his epic Super Bowl halftime performance, Usher is returning to the spotlight.
Starting Aug. 14, the eight-time Grammy winner kicks off his 60-concert North American ‘Past Present Future Tour’ that will send him to arenas all over the U.S. and Canada up until Nov. 30.
That includes four (!) back-to-back-to-back-to-back gigs at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Friday, Sept. 6, Saturday, Sept. 7, Monday, Sept. 9 and Tuesday, Sept. 10.
At all shows, fans will likely be treated to Usher’s hits — think “Yeah,” “My Boo,” “Love In This Club” — and cuts from his recently released, rapturously received 2024 album “Coming Home.”
“Usher’s ninth album is another impressive display of his endless charm and vocal chops,” Pitchfork shared in a glowing review. “Thirty years into his career, the R&B icon still knows how to keep it light and throw a great party.”
And, if you want to get in on the party, it isn’t too late to grab last-minute tickets.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find for any one show was $75 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Other shows have tickets starting anywhere from $76 to $339 before fees.
For more information, we’ve got everything you need to know and more about Usher’s 2024 ‘Past Present Future Tour’ below.

Usher new music
On Friday, Feb. 9, Usher dropped his ninth studio album “Coming Home.”
Comprised of 20 concert and radio-ready songs, the record is Usher’s first official release since 2016’s “Hard II Love.”
And, after eight years away from the studio, the consummate showman hasn’t lost a step.
The synth-y title track “Coming Home” featuring Burna Boy is a smooth bop that sets the tone; after that, the nostalgic Billy Joel-sampling “A-Town Girl” feat. Latto has sing-a-long anthem written all over it, “Kissing Strangers” is the perfect ballad that never veers intro treacly territory and the gleefully goofy “BIG” rivals “Yeah” for the most fun tune in Usher’s back catalog. It’s a gas and a half.
Best of all though, is the slowed down duet “Risk It All” with H.E.R. Taken from “The Color Purple” soundtrack. As fun as Usher is, it’s nice to see him drop the synths and let his powerful vocals do the speaking.
Make sure to give the desperate “Please U,”quivering “Margiela” and ebullient “Standing Next To You” remix a chance, too. All three are delicious pop masterpieces.
