Birmingham Gets Its Wish: Raymond & Brown Bring The R&B Tour to Protective Stadium (July 28)

With decades of chart-topping hits, cultural influence, and undeniable stage presence between them, both Chris Brown and Usher have helped define and evolve modern R&B. From Usher’s era-defining classics like Confessions and must see Vegas residency to Chris Brown’s ability to consistently reinvent the sound and energy of the genre, each has built a legacy that spans generations of fans. Now, the name of the tour itself—R&B (Raymond & Brown)—feels like a full-circle moment, paying homage not only to their last names, but to the very genre they’ve helped shape, elevate, and keep at the forefront of music culture.

As soon as the tour was announced, social media lit up with fans across the city asking the same question—“Is Birmingham getting a date?” The chatter quickly turned into anticipation as locals hoped the Magic City would land on the tour schedule. That excitement was confirmed on Tuesday, April 14, when the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex (home of Protective Stadium) officially announced that the Raymond & Brown tour would indeed make a stop in Birmingham. Even Mayor Randall Woodfin joined the conversation with a social media post, making sure the city—and the internet—knew Birmingham secured its spot on one of the biggest R&B tours of the year.

The newly announced “R&B Tour” is a co-headlining stadium experience bringing together Chris Brown and Usher—marking a major moment in R&B and a reunion fans didn’t see coming.
