One of the biggest R&B outings in years will bring Chris Brown and Usher to Detroit on July 2 and 3 for a pair of mega-concerts at Ford Field.

The two superstar singers are embarking on a run they’ve dubbed the R&B Tour — or Raymond & Brown, playing off their last names.

Tickets will go on sale at noon April 27, following a presale that kicks off at noon April 23. Presale registration is open now through 10 p.m. April 21 at Ticketmaster. A presale for Citi cardholders will run from noon April 21 through 10 p.m. April 22.

Detroit is the third city on the 33-date co-headlining tour, announced Tuesday (April 14), which will kick off June 26 in Denver and wrap up Dec. 11 in Tampa.

For Brown, the July visit follows three Detroit shows last year, including a pair of sold-out solo shows at Ford Field. Usher, whose last performance here came at Little Caesars Arena in 2024, was most recently in town for the February opening of a youth entertainment facility at Michigan Central Station, which he spearheaded with Big Sean.

Brown and Usher join a Ford Field concert schedule that already includes dates from Bruno Mars (May 10), Foo Fighters (Aug. 6), Chris Stapleton (Aug. 28) and Ed Sheeran (Aug. 29).
