Usher & Chris Brown Gave Central New York A Lot Of Great R&B

As we kick off the 8th month of the year, the 2026 concert season is in full swing all over the place. From Brooklyn to Buffalo, Toronto to Troy, and everywhere in between, there has been something for everyone to enjoy this year.

Now, if you're a fan of good and sexy rhythm and blues, then the 2026 R&B Tour is something that you want to make sure you see. With this being the only stop of this tour in the Empire State, the sold-out JMA Wireless Dome was filled with a crowd of more than 30,000 people from all over New York State on Saturday, August 1, 2026, when Usher Raymond and Chris Brown made the 12th stop on their North American tour, and they did not disappoint one bit.

Not only did Breezy and Ushababy rock the crowd for hours, but they also had tons of support to set the vibes right for the fans all night long.

The show kicked off with vibes from the world-famous DJ Fresh, who not only gets A+ marks for his music selection, but also a high five for keeping the entire crowd involved from when the doors opened to when Chris Brown opened the show. The JMA Wireless Dome was filled with people Swag Surfin', twerking, and doing the rock-a-way.

Between the two of them, and the surprise support the duo received from Mario, Tank, and Eric Bellinger, fans got to hear nearly 50 songs

The entire event was an experience to be a part of.
