Fresh from performing at the Super Bowl, the most-watched US broadcast since the 1969 moon landing, the singer unveiled plans for a series of shows in Europe in 2025, including three dates at The O2 Arena in London.
Titled the Past Present Future tour, the performances will highlight all stages of Usher’s 30-year career, from his 1994 debut album My Way to his recently released record Coming Home and beyond.
After several fans appealed for the “Yeah!” vocalist to perform over on this side of the Atlantic, Usher, 45, announced that their wishes had been granted with a post on X/Twitter on Tuesday (20 February).
“EU and UK! I couldn’t forget about U!” he wrote.
In a statement, Usher added more about his anticipation for the coming shows.
“Europe, you ready? After the epic experience at the Super Bowl and the huge demand for shows across North America, I’m happy to announce I’m coming your way as well – for shows in London, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin.
“This tour is both a celebration of the past 30 years and a glimpse into the future,” he continued. “We are just getting started!”
