Usher: 'Past Present Future' World Tour — CANCELLED

Overview

UPDATE, Monday, July 7, 2025: Usher's 2025 Australian tour has been cancelled, with his shows at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on Monday, December 1–Tuesday, December 2, then on Thursday, December 4–Friday, December 5 and finally on Wednesday, December 10–Thursday, December 11 no longer going ahead.

Ticketholders will receive automatic refunds via the payment method they used to make their purchase within approximately 30 business days.

The last two Super Bowl half-time show headliners are both playing Australia in 2025. Kendrick Lamar locked in a prime slot at Spilt Milk just months after taking to the field, and 2024's Super Bowl performer Usher is putting on Aussie dates on his Past Present Future world tour. He's heading to Sydney in December.

The appropriate reaction if you're an Usher fan: yeah! This will be the eight-time Grammy-winner's first Australian solo headline tour since 2011. Celebrating his three-decade career is the name of the game — which means going all the way back to his first single 'Call Me a Mack' from 1993, also playing tracks off of his latest 2024 album Coming Home, plus working his way through plenty in-between.

At Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Usher will take to the stage on Monday, December 1–Tuesday, December 2, then on Thursday, December 4–Friday, December 5 and finally on Wednesday, December 10–Thursday, December 11.

The first US shows on the Past Present Future tour were announced just days before Usher's Super Bowl set, which worked through hits from across his lengthy career itself. From August–December 2024, the Texas-born singer made his way across North American stages, before heading to Europe (including England, France, the Netherlands and Germany) from March 2025.

Also popping up on his setlist across the tour so far: 'Yeah!', of course, plus everything from 'Can U Get Wit It', 'Nice & Slow', 'U Remind Me' and 'U Got It Bad' to 'Burn', 'OMG', 'Euphoria' and more.
