Prior to this outing, Brown last toured all over the U.S. and Canada on his 2025 ‘Breezy Bowl XX Tour.’ On that run, the “Run It” singer would deliver mammoth, career-spanning 50-plus song sets, according to Set List FM. Notable tracks he’d perform included “Ayo,” “Look At Me Now, ” “Forever,” “Loyal,” and, of course, “Run It.”
“It felt like a non-stop party,” The Miami New Times reported in an emphatic recap of an August ’25 gig.
As for Usher, his last trek — the ‘Past Present Future Tour’ — stretched from August 2024 through May 2025. Like his co-headliner, the Super Bowl halftime show performer pulled out all the stops from his past, present and, well, future.
Fan favorite hits “U Remind Me,” “Love In This Club,” “U Got It Bad,” “Burn,” “Yeah!” and many more were staples for all shows, based on our findings at Set List FM.
“With a rich setlist spanning his three-decade-long career, hypnotic theatrics and thrilling surprises, Usher delivered a sensational experience that celebrated R&B music from every era,” The Daily Bruin wrote in a 4.5-star review.

Chris Brown new music
Most recently, the controversial crooner dropped the single “Obvious” on April 10.
The funky track employs party-starting drum machines under Brown’s world-famous, silky-smooth vocals. If this song doesn’t get you moving, we don’t know what will.

Usher new music
On Feb. 9, 2024, Usher dropped his ninth studio album “Coming Home.”
Comprised of 20 concert and radio-ready songs, the record is Usher’s first official release since 2016’s “Hard II Love.”
And, after eight years away from the studio, the consummate showman hasn’t lost a step.
The synthy title track “Coming Home” featuring Burna Boy is a smooth bop that sets the tone; after that, the nostalgic Billy Joel-sampling “A-Town Girl” featuring Latto has sing-a-long anthem written all over it, “Kissing Strangers” is the perfect ballad that never veers into treacly territory, and the gleefully goofy “BIG” rivals “Yeah” for the most fun tune in Usher’s back catalog. It’s a gas and a half.
Best of all though, is the slowed-down duet “Risk It All” with H.E.R. taken from “The Color Purple” soundtrack. As fun as this record is, it’s nice to see him drop the fizzy synths and let his powerful vocals carry the weight of the music.
Make sure to give the desperate “Please U,” quivering “Margiela” and ebullient “Standing Next To You” remix a chance, too. All three are delicious slices of pop.

Chris Brown controversy
In 2009, Brown had a domestic dispute with his then-girlfriend Rihanna that became violent. Soon after, she was sent to the hospital to treat severe facial injuries.
That morning, Brown turned himself into the Los Angeles Police Department. One month later, he pleaded guilty to felony assault. After agreeing to a plea deal that included community labor, five years probation, and domestic violence counseling, the judge ruled a 50-yard, five-year restraining order was necessary for Rihanna.
Brown is also known for his 2013 spat with singer Frank Ocean, a hit and run, breaking internal rules at a rehab center, assaulting his manager and a five-year restraining order from his ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, among other transgressions.
Most recently, he was charged this past May with smashing a tequila bottle over a music producer’s head at a London nightclub in 2023. He was granted bail and plead not guilty.
