The tour launches on Aug. 20 in Washington D.C. and will make stops in Boston, Philadelphia, Oakland, Calif., Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami and other cities before coming to a close in Chicago on Oct. 31.

Usher forthcoming tour could become one of the biggest tours of the year, and the largest of his career. “The success of tour began several years ago when Usher launched his residency in Vegas, which re-established his greatness,” Live Nation Global Touring chairman Arthur Fogel said in an interview with Billboard. “Now he is building off that success with his current tour and the presales prove there is unprecedented demand to see him perform live.”
