Usher announces he is bringing his Past Present Future tour to two Aussie cities

The eight-time Grammy winner has confirmed the news fans Down Under have been waiting on for 14 years – but there’s a catch.

Usher has announced he’s bringing his musical “Confessions” to Australia as part of his global tour, performing multiple dates in two cities.

The multi-platinum, eight-time Grammy winner kicked off his Past Present Future Tour in Washington D.C. in August last year, and has since taken it across the US, Europe and the UK.

The show is described by Usher as “a celebration of the past 30 years and a glimpse into the future”, and includes an epic 47-song setlist of his greatest hits, including U Got It Bad, How U Remind Me, Burn and Yeah.

After a stint overseas, Aussie fans will soon have the opportunity to see him for themselves – but only in two major cities.

The show will start its Aussie leg in Melbourne on the 19th, 20th, 22nd and 23rd of November at the Rod Laver Arena, before moving to Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th of December.

Tickets will go on sale starting with an artist presale on May 12, with general onsale beginning Friday, May 16 on UsherWorld.com.

Usher – full name Usher Raymond IV – took a brief break from his tour to perform at the Met Gala earlier this week, taking the stage at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC alongside Stevie Wonder.

Vogue reports that the set was introduced with a poetry reading from Gala co-chair Colman Domingo, and that Usher performed Yeah, U Don’t Have To Call and OMG.

Usher is heading to Australia with an epic greatest hits tour.
