Oh my god! The big day(s) are finally here!
The R&B Tour with Usher & Chris Brown is coming to the New York City area when it hits MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ on August 7 and August 8th.
From setlists to parking to opening acts, we put together a list of EVERYTHING you need to know ahead of the show right here:
What Time Is Usher & Chris Brown’s New Jersey Concert at MetLife Stadium?
The “show” starts both nights 8:00 p.m. The gates to the stadium open at 6:00 pm each day.
Here’s a more detailed time breakdown (keep scrolling for EVEN MORE info):

What Time Will Usher & Chris Brown Perform at MetLife Stadium?
Per our best guesstimates, it’s likely that the headliners will take to the stage around 8:50 p.m. We’ve seen them hitting the stage around that time on earlier dates of the tour.
Don’t cut it too close, though. MetLife is a large stadium, though, so you should be safely in your seat by about 8:30 p.m.
