Usher was born in Dallas, a fact that Texas music fans tend to carry with quiet pride — the way you acknowledge any hometown son who went on to define an era. Define is not too strong a word. His 2024 tour, Past, Present, Future, sold over 1.1 million tickets across 62 sold-out shows. He headlined Super Bowl LVIII. Now he and Chris Brown are co-headlining The R&B Tour, and Houston — which already had two dates on the itinerary — wanted a third. On Tuesday, November 24, 2026, that third night arrives at NRG Stadium at 7:00 PM.
About Usher Raymond & Chris Brown
The name pulls double duty. R&B here is the genre both men have spent their careers defining — and it is also Raymond and Brown, their surnames, their shared claim on a tradition that runs deep. Live Nation is producing all 33 dates of this co-headlining stadium run, which opens June 26 in Denver and closes December 11 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. The tour partners with Global Citizen, donating one dollar per ticket to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund in support of children’s education worldwide.
Usher — a Dallas native raised in Atlanta — is a multiple GRAMMY Award winner and the founder of the New Look Foundation, which has supported underserved youth since 1999. His current album, Coming Home, continues a creative arc that his 2024 residency numbers — more than a million tickets sold — suggest is nowhere near its ceiling. Earlier in 2024, he headlined the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show. By any reasonable measure, Usher Raymond is near the top of what the form can produce.
Chris Brown’s career launched in 2005, and it has not slowed. His recently completed BREEZY BOWL XX WORLD TOUR — celebrating his twentieth year in the industry — became the highest-grossing tour ever by a solo Black American male artist, drawing 2 million fans and generating nearly $300 million across North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom. His 11:11 album holds diamond certification. He holds the record for most Hot 100 entries among R&B singers, a number that the chart compilers keep updating in his favor.
Houston is a three-night market on this run. The October 9 and October 10 dates sold through well enough that a third was added: November 24. That third date is the one you’re reading about now.
NRG Stadium
NRG Stadium sits at NRG Pkwy in Houston, a 72,220-capacity facility that has hosted Super Bowls, Final Fours, and most of the major stadium-circuit touring acts of the past two decades. It is a serious room for a serious show. The venue enforces a strict clear bag policy: one clear plastic bag, no larger than 12″ x 6″ x 12″. Backpacks, standard purses, and diaper bags are not permitted. Plan accordingly and arrive light.
Tickets
Tickets are available via Ticketmaster. VIP packages are offered through vipnation.com. Full tour information and additional dates are at RaymondAndBrownTour.com. Showtime is 7:00 PM. This third Houston date exists because the first two sold out. Don’t let it close on you the same way.
