Just when you thought Super Bowl LVIII's halftime show was the pinnacle of Usher's year, think again. The R&B sensation, fresh off his lauded performance, is set to ride that wave of momentum with a tour stop at Austin's new Moody Center on October 7, as part of a broader "Past Present Future" tour. According to KVUE, Usher's Austin fans can snag tickets in a venue-hosted presale starting Friday, with the code ZILKER, before the general public ticket release on February 12.
Adding another layer to Usher's busy schedule is his latest studio album, "Coming Home," which drops this Friday. It's been a hot minute since the artist's last album in 2016 but, if the buzz is anything to go by, the wait will have been worth it. This new album launch is strategically aligned with his halftime show appearance at the Super Bowl, where his team, the Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the San Francisco 49ers, says KVUE.

The "Past Present Future" tour promises to be a ride through the hits, with Austin and Dallas being the only Texas cities graced by the star's presence. As reported by CultureMap Austin, Usher's tour will celebrate not just his newest work, but also the 30th anniversary of his debut album. So, it stands to reason that fans can expect a mix of nostalgia and fresh beats.
With two back-to-back shows planned in several cities, including a stint at the Intuit Dome in LA, Usher is not exactly tiptoeing back onto the scene. On the contrary, the artist seems to have orchestrated a full-blown resurgence. And while he's staying mum about which, if any, other big names might appear alongside him, there's no shortage of speculation from fans. Hints about potential guest stars, including the likes of Lil Jon, Ludacris, Justin Bieber, and BTS, have all but set social media alight with anticipation, according to CultureMap Austin.
For those looking to get ahead of the crowd, Citi and Verizon presales are already in the rearview, while additional presales will run until Sunday. After that, it's anyone's game when tickets hit the general market early next week. For complete tour dates and ticket information, fans can point their browsers to LiveNation's website and prepare for what could be one of the biggest tours of the year.
