We officially know what’s “Poppin’.”
This weekend, Usher and Chris Brown are bringing their nationwide ‘R&B Tour’ to East Rutherford, NJ’s MetLife Stadium for two nights.
The inimitable hitmakers will be at the Jets and Giants’ 82,500-seat home on:
Friday, Aug. 7
7 p.m.
Saturday, Aug. 8
7 p.m.
If you’d like to see the Grammy-winning co-headliners, last-minute tickets are available for their back-to-back gigs.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for either concert was $131 including fees on SeatGeek.
Floor-level seats — which could potentially lead to a controversial, viral shirtless serenade (!) — start at $548 including fees.
Make sure to use promo code NYPOST10 for $10 off purchases over $250 at checkout (Editor’s Note: this discount is only valid for users’ first purchase on SeatGeek).
Best of all, prices have actually dropped a bit, too.
When our team last reported on how much tickets cost to see Usher and Chris Brown at MetLife on July 27, the cheapest seats we could find were $170 including fees.
And, while $39 in savings isn’t a huge steal, it’s not nothing.
Most importantly though, you’ll undoubtedly be treated to a Herculean concert based on our findings at Power 105.1. They reported that the pair perform more than 50 (!) songs between the two of them over three hours.
Records indicate Usher often busts out throwback smash singalongs Yeah!,” “Caught Up,” “U Remind Me,” “My Boo,” “Burn” while Brown drops beloved bangers like “Poppin’,” “Loyal,” “Look at Me Now,” “Run It!” and “Yo (Excuse Me Miss)” as well as newer songs from his recently-released 12th studio album “Brown.”
That’s not to mention the duo’s onstage theatrics.
“Both artists were relentless with their showmanship,” New York Upstate noted in their review of a recent ‘R&B Tour’ concert in Syracuse. “Brown acted out a street fight, then stood on top of a car and sang into a hanging microphone. Usher poured a trail of tequila on the stage, lit it on fire with a cigarette, and then watched as smoke and confetti resembled ashes falling down.”

Why has Usher been in the news?
At a recent concert, Usher pulled a fan onstage for a mid-show shirtless serenade.
Page Six reported that “as a shirtless Usher started singing to her, she looked painfully uncomfortable, though he continued to try to interact with her by lightly touching her chin and face. But when he tried to get her to recline on the onstage bed and she stiffly moved back, the 47-year-old singer pulled away.”
The woman, Gabrelle Cheyenne wrote “Y’all aren’t gonna get on the internet calling me out my name and disrespecting me and expect me to keep it cool!…Don’t think that yall are gonna bully me about an experience that yall didn’t get!”

What are Chris Brown’s controversies?
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.
