For Usher, these dates signify his first appearance at Allegiant Stadium since he headlined the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show in 2024, a performance that significantly boosted his “Past, Present, Future” tour, making it one of the highest-grossing tours of the year.

As of the end of 2024, the North American leg alone had seen over 1.1 million tickets sold from 62 sold-out performances.

Fresh off his own successful tour, Brown concluded his “Breezy Bowl XX World Tour” in October, which amassed nearly $300 million globally.

Citi cardholders will have early access to tickets starting at noon PT on Tuesday, April 21, continuing until Wednesday, April 22 at 10 p.m. Other presale opportunities will be available throughout the week, leading up to the general ticket sale starting at noon on Monday, April 27 via Ticketmaster.
