Usher Will Go on World Tour After Upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Performance
R&B singer Usher, already a busy man with his Las Vegas residency was recently announced as the headliner of the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2024. The entertainer also stated that he has plans to hit the road right after he hits the stage in Las Vegas on Feb. 11, 2024.
According to Billboard, the team behind the “My Way” singer is checking out arenas around the world to lock down dates after the Super Bowl Halftime performance. The media outlet also just announced that Usher is releasing his ninth studio album, titled, “Coming Home” the same day as the Halftime Show. It will be the first album the crooner has put out since 2016’s “Hard II Love.”
The last time an artist announced a new tour after a Super Bowl Halftime performance was in 2017 when pop artist Lady Gaga did so.
Usher reacted with excitement after the halftime performance was revealed to the world.
“It’s an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before,” he said. “Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I’ll see you real soon.”

Usher, who famously serenades women at his shows, avoided confrontation at his latest one. At his Sept. 24 show, while singing in front of Gabrielle Union, he stops himself from his usual routine when standing in front of her husband, NBA Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade. As he stops singing, he tells the crowd, “Let’s not get carried away. Y’know, this is Dwyane Wade—I ain’t crazy! That man will knock my whole head off and then dunk it!”
