Usher Announces ‘Past Present Future’ Tour is Headed to Florida

Back in the day, when my wife was just a young thing, she had this WiLD dream of marrying the music icon Usher. And let me tell you, even now, when she talks about him or catches a glimpse of him , she breathes a little heavier. You know what I mean? Now, fast forward to today, and guess what's got her all riled up? Usher's Super Bowl Halftime Show performance this Sunday? No. Much worse. He's coming to Miami. I could hardly handle her giddiness.

According to Fox35, his upcoming tour, "PAST PRESENT FUTURE" will only hit one place in Florida, and it's within driving distance to our home in Cape Coral. Great. Thanks Usher. My girl has got is bad for you, and guess who is going to shell out the money, so she can get all hot and bothered at YOUR show. ME. That's who. But don't worry fellas. Usher is coming for your girl too. The dude's hitting the road from late summer through fall, starting in Washington, D.C. on August 20th, wrapping things up in Chicago right around Halloween time. Gives a whole new meaning to the song "My Boo", right?

But honestly, it's not just my girl that's pumped about the Miami show. When Usher arrives at the Kaseya Center on October 11th and 12th, it will be his first time back in Florida on his own tour since like 2014. That's a long time to wait for Usher fanatics. And now they're hungry.

So, mark your calendars, or like my girl, add a calendar to your Usher shrine. Oh, and just a reminder for all the other Usher fanatics, the Presale kicks off THIS FRIDAY on February 9th at 10am. So you better be ready. Don't be that guy who denies your girl of seeing Usher. You remember what happened when you said no to Chipotle that one night, right?  Nuff said.  Tickets officially go on sale February 12th at 10 a.m. That's just a few days BEFORE Valentine's Day. Hint, Hint.

So, there it is. Usher's making moves, and Miami's getting some. Now, if only I could get my wife to stop blabbering about Usher and how amazing his Super Bowl performance is gonna be. Jealous much? Yeah, maybe a little.

R&B legend Usher will be playing the Halftime show at next year's Super Bowl! It was announced on Sunday (Sept. 24), that Usher will be performing at the 2024 Super Bowl, something that the superstar has wanted for quite some time.

"It’s an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before,” Usher said in a statement on Sunday, adding, "Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I’ll see you real soon."

Jay-Z, who signed a multi-year partnership with the NFL through his label Roc Nation, praised Usher's longstanding legacy in the music industry.

"Usher is the ultimate artist and showman. Ever since his debut at the age of 15, he's been charting his own unique course. Beyond his flawless singing and exceptional choreography, Usher bares his soul," said JAY-Z. “His remarkable journey has propelled him to one of the grandest stages in the world. I can't wait to see the magic."

The 2024 Super Bowl will be in Las Vegas where Usher has performed for over a year. He extended his performances one last time. Twelve new shows have been added: Nov. 3-4, 7-8, 10-11, 22, 24-25, 29 and Dec. 1-2. Additionally, he will take his show to Paris from the end of September through early October.

In addition to the Super Bowl announcement, Usher will release his new album Coming Home. The LP will be released on the same day as the Super Bowl, Feb. 11, 2024.

This year Rihanna took the stage and made history as the most-watched Super Bowl performance Rihanna's total views during her performance were 121 million, which beat the record held by Katy Perry in 2015 with 118 million views. Perry brought out Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliott during her performance, while Rihanna did the show solo.

While Usher is known for his solo efforts, we wouldn't be upset if he brought out some of his celebrity friends on stage with him. Take a look below at some artists we believe would make great additions to the show:

After Usher played an April Fool's joke during his Dreamvile concert performance, he certainly owes his fans to bring Beyoncé out. The superstars only have one song together which is "Love In This Club Part II." However, they had very memorable performance for Usher's Live From Puerto Rico concert special back in 2005. Beyoncé stayed on stage for Usher's performance of "Bad Girl" and fans would not mind if they decided to have a repeat performance. Take a look at the throwback moment here. She headlined one of the best Halftime shows ever, in 2013. In 2016, she stole the show when she guested with Coldplay.

Alicia Keys and Usher did not beat dating allegations after they dropped "My Boo." While they didn't date in real life, it is definitely fans' top features for both artists. The duet by the R&B powerhouses was released in 2004 and served as the fourth single on Usher's Confessions album. We hope that Alicia's invitation to the Super Bowl stage is already out there.

We'd love if Usher, Jon, and Luda could do it again -- and this time at the Super Bowl. Usher has two hits with both artists including "Lovers and Friends" and "Yeah." Both songs are high energy compared to Usher's soulful R&B tunes which would be a great overall vibe to his show.

If Usher really wants everybody up and out of their seats he definitely needs to send an invite over to Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am. The two made "OMG" in 2010 which served as the fourth single on Usher's album Raymond v. Raymond. The song is a part of Usher's "EDM era" which was a popular sound in the 2010s. Fans responded well to Usher's "OMG" which gave the legend his ninth No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

To "usher" in his new era, the singer should invite 21 Savage and Summer Walker on stage. Both artists are on his song "Good Good" which will be on his new album Coming Home. The LP will be released on the same day as the Super Bowl which is February 11.
