8-time Grammy Award-winning international entertainment icon USHER kicked off his highly anticipated 'Past Present Future' global tour, his first in 8 years, with 2 sold-out shows in Washington, DC at Capital One Arena.
The chart-topping, multi-platinum sensation captivated fans with his timeless R&B tracks and dance moves during his 2-hour set delivering electrifying performances and reaffirming how he has solidified his place in music history as a legend over the past 30 years of his career.
USHER played his most famous hits like ‘U Don’t Have To Call’, ‘Confessions’, and ‘Lovers and Friends’ as well as new music from the 2024 release of his ninth album, COMING HOME, before closing the night with a thrilling performance of ‘Yeah!’.
During night 2, D.C.’s own Wale, Raheem DeVaughn and E.U.’s Sugar Bear joined Usher on stage, adding a special hometown flavor to the night. Wale brought the crowd to its feet with his performance of “The Matrimony” and “No Hands”, Raheem DeVaughn’s soulful voice added a smooth, melodic touch performance of “You” and Sugar Bear got the crowd on its feet with a rousing rendition of “Da’ Butt”.
The next stop on Usher's expansive 80-city global tour will be two nights in Baltimore, MD, at CFG Bank Arena, before continuing with multiple shows in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Chicago, and more.
