Usher and Chris Brown have brought the biggest R&B party of 2026 to Texas. The two superstars' first-ever co-headlining stadium run, The R&B Tour (Raymond & Brown), opened its Texas leg in El Paso on Saturday, October 3, and now heads to San Antonio and Houston for three more nights packed with career-spanning hits — from “Run It!” and “Loyal” to “No Guidance” and “Under the Influence.”

Setlist and Special Guests
At the tour’s June 26 launch at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Chris Brown opened with “Party” alongside Usher. The night rolled through “Poppin’”, “Wall to Wall”, “Deuces”, “Loyal”, “Go Crazy”, “Look at Me Now”, “Run It!”, “Residuals”, “Heat”, “Under the Influence” and “Back to Sleep” (with Usher), before an encore of “Ayo”, “Kiss Kiss”, “With You”, “Forever”, “No Guidance” and “New Flame” (with Usher).
According to reports, surprise guests at earlier stops have included Ye, Snoop Dogg, Nelly, 50 Cent, Fat Joe, Mary J. Blige, Future, Ashanti, Jadakiss, Method Man and Lil Baby. No surprise guests have been confirmed for the Texas dates so far.
How The R&B Tour Came Together
The tour was announced in April 2026 through a synchronized cinematic teaser shared by both artists. The name “Raymond & Brown” pairs Usher’s surname, Raymond, with Brown — a nod to the R&B genre the two stars have helped define for two decades. Through a partnership with Global Citizen, $1 from every ticket sold goes to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.
