Usher Maps 25 City Concert Tour of North America
What better time for Usher to hit the road than towards the end of this year, when the success of his “Raymond vs. Raymond” release culminates after its most popular single, “OMG” has earned itself a reputation for being one of the fist pumping anthems of the year. As such, Usher’s forthcoming fall trek is dubbed as the “OMG” tour.
The R&B giant will be stopping by 25 North American cities throughout November and December, including stops in Seattle on November 10 which marks the starting point of the tour, St. Louis on November 26 which is one of the artist’s few Midwest stops, NYC’s Madison Square Garden on December 13, Boston the day after and Hartford, CT on December 18 to close the trek.
The complete list of dates, cities, venues and ticket prices can be viewed via the artist’s official website although a definite venue for Usher’s December 2 Detroit show is still yet to be known.
Meanwhile, tickets for the tour will be available to the public beginning on September 18 but not until the internet presale takes place on the 17th. Ticket prices are set to cost anywhere from $25 to $125.
It has been six years since Usher embarked on a major album tour, not since his 2004 Truth Tour which backed up another of his chart topping releases, “Confessions”. Although two years ago, Usher did go on the road to perform but not to an arena-size crowd but on a more intimate setting with only his female fans invited to every show which was dubbed as the “One Night Stand” tour.
