CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chris Brown and Usher are co-headlining a new stadium tour that includes a stop in Chicago.

They will take the stage at Soldier Field on Friday, Aug. 21.



A presale is set for April 21, with tickets available to the general public on April 27.

Both Grammy winners released a surprise tease on social media last week that they were pairing up for this tour.



Brown has had multiple run-ins with law enforcement over the years. Most notably, the singer pleaded guilty to felony assault of his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, in 2009.

He was ordered to rehab but was later kicked out of a rehab facility and spent over two months in a Los Angeles County jail before he was released in June 2014, as the Associated Press reported at the time. Brown's probation in that case lasted until 2015.

And last year, Brown pleaded not guilty to charges related to the serious beating of a music producer with a bottle in a London nightclub in 2023.
