Usher is making a grand return to Australia with his highly anticipated "USHER: Past Present Future 2025 Global Tour," marking his first solo headline tour in the country in 14 years. The multi-platinum, eight-time GRAMMY award-winning artist is set to perform a series of shows in Melbourne and Sydney, celebrating three decades of his iconic music.
Since his breakout in 1997 with hits like "You Make Me Wanna," Usher has been a mainstay in the music industry, continually redefining R&B and pop culture. His upcoming tour promises to be a nostalgic journey through his extensive catalog, featuring beloved tracks such as "Yeah!" (featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris), "U Got It Bad," "Burn," and songs from his latest album, "COMING HOME," released earlier this year.
The tour will kick off in Australia with shows at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne and Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. Usher will perform in Melbourne on November 19, 20, 22, and 23, 2025, followed by performances in Sydney on December 1, 2, 4, and 5, 2025. This event is not just a concert; it's an immersive experience that promises incredible vocals, slick choreography, and a full-scale production designed to captivate audiences.
