Birmingham Gets Its Wish: Raymond & Brown Bring The R&B Tour to Protective Stadium (July 28)
2026-07-28 08:00 - 17:00 | Protective Stadium, 1001 22nd St N,, Birmingham, AL, 35203, United States
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.
👉 Full tour dates are still being released, so if Birmingham doesn’t work for you, don’t stress—this tour is expected to hit major cities across the country with many already being announced.

Port City Classic Weekend in Mobile Expands with Star-Studded Tailgate Concert (September 4)
2026-09-04 17:00 - 22:00 | Mobile, AL, 48 Park Lane, London, AL, 36604, United States
There’s a certain energy that comes with HBCU football weekends — the bands, the tailgates, the culture. But in Mobile, the Port City Classic is quickly becoming something bigger than just a game.

This year’s lineup makes that clear.

Set against the backdrop of Labor Day weekend, the Port City Classic is building into a full experience, anchored not only by football but by a growing slate of entertainment, including a major
Tailgate Concert presented by American Entertainment Group (AEG).

A Concert That Feels Like Its Own Headliner Event

Taking place Friday, September 4th at Ladd-Peebles Stadium, the Tailgate Concert is shaping up to be one of the weekend’s biggest draws.

The lineup leans heavily into Southern soul and crowd favorites, featuring:

Big Pokey

Cupid

69 Boyz

Urban Mystic

Nathaniel Kimble

Fat Daddy

Kai

Ida Lee

David J

…and more acts still to be announced.

With gates opening at 5:00 PM and showtime set for 7:30 PM, the concert sets the tone for the entire weekend — blending nostalgia, live performance energy, and the kind of crowd engagement that keeps people coming back year after year.

For many, this won’t just be a pre-game event. It’ll be a destination all on its own.

More Than Football — A Full Weekend Experience

While the concert adds major star power, the Port City Classic continues to build its identity around a full lineup of events that extend beyond the stadium.

Throughout the weekend, Mobile becomes a hub for activity, including:

Community events and networking opportunities

Tailgates and fan experiences

Educational programming like the HBCU Summit

Live music and cultural activations across the city

It’s the kind of setup that turns a single game into a weekend people plan trips around.

Why It’s Growing

What’s happening with the Port City Classic isn’t by accident. It reflects a larger shift in how events are being built — especially in the South.

People aren’t just looking for a game anymore. They’re looking for an experience.

And Mobile is leaning into that.

By combining football, live entertainment, and community-driven programming, the Port City Classic is creating something that:

Attracts visitors from across the region

Drives hotel stays and local business traffic

Showcases the cultural impact of HBCUs

Positions Mobile as a destination city for major events

The Bigger Picture

From the outside looking in, this is what successful regional events are starting to look like — layered, intentional, and built to serve multiple audiences at once.

You’ve got:

Football fans

Music lovers

Alumni and organizations

Young professionals and creatives

All finding a reason to show up.

And when that happens, the impact goes beyond entertainment. It becomes economic.

Final Thought

The Port City Classic is still growing, but weekends like this show exactly where it’s headed.

It’s not just about who’s playing on the field. It’s about what’s happening around it.

And with additions like the AEG Tailgate Concert, Mobile is making it clear — this isn’t just a game anymore.

It’s a full weekend experience.
