Usher Extends Tour Dates Following Super Bowl Halftime Show Success

Following last night’s performance at the Super Bowl halftime show, Usher has announced 10 more shows on his “Past Present Future” North American tour.

The new shows kick off on Aug. 16 and 17 with two added dates at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, making five nights total in the venue. Usher also added a third night at Dallas’ American Airlines Center on top of shows in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Vancouver; Seattle; Las Vegas; Anaheim, California; Phoenix and Houston.

Usher took the stage during the halftime show at this year’s Super Bowl, performing classics including “Love In This Club,” “Yeah,” ” DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love,” “Hey Boo” featuring a surprise appearance from Alicia Keys and more.

“I was not exaggerating when I shared with the world that my performance would be a celebration of the past 30 years of my career,” Usher said in a statement following his show. “I will never forget the energy from the cast and crew, the fans in the stadium, the guest performers and the adrenaline from this monumental milestone in my career. I’m so happy everyone enjoyed it, my goal always is to bring people together and feel good through my music and performance.”

Usher’s halftime performance was a tribute to his hometown, Atlanta, which is now also the tour kickoff following his latest announcement. In addition to Alicia Keys, H.E.R., Lil John, Ludacris, Will.i.am and Jermaine Dupri all made appearances. In true Las Vegas fashion, the show proved to be chaotic with an abundance of glitter, feathers and stilt walkers. Usher packed a lot of his greatest hits into the 13 minutes he was provided, singing tastes of “Confessions,” “Superstar,” “Nice and Slow,” “OMG” and more.

According to TV intelligence company Samba TV, Usher’s Super Bowl halftime show saw 5% more ratings than last year’s, drawing in 30.1 million households.

The Live Nation-produced tour now features 51 dates, the trek kicking off in Usher’s hometown of Atlanta. The singer is represented by Lafitte Management Group’s Ron Laffitte and booked by WME’s John Marx. He recently wrapped his residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas, which averaged a $1.6 million gross each night.

Tickets for the tour go on sale starting Feb. 16 at 10 a.m. local time. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning Feb. 13 at 10 a.m. local time and lasting through until Feb. 15 at 10 p.m. local time.
