If you never got over the R'n'B era of the early 2000s, now's the time to relive it. The man who is arguably the king of the genre is coming to Sydney for a run of four arena shows – yes, the one and only Usher is gracing us with his presence. As he would say, oh my gosh. As part of his Past Present Future world tour, Usher has just announced a total of eight Aussie shows in Sydney and Melbourne later this year. It's a long-awaited return Down Under for the 'Love in this Club' singer, who hasn't performed on our shores since his first solo headline tour, the OMG tour, in 2011.
The tour is essentially a victory lap for the iconic artist, who is performing in celebration of his incredible 30-year career, singing all his hits like 'DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love', 'Burn' and heaps more. Currently touring around the world, Usher is already creating lots of hype – i.e. the viral clips of him feeding women in his audience cherries. Clearly, he's still got it. So if you've got it bad for the king of R'n'B, here's everything you need to know about Usher's Sydney shows for the 2025 Past Present Future tour.
