Usher, Chris Brown concert at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore canceled, Ticketmaster says

Ticketmaster is reporting that the Usher-Chris Brown concert that was scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 17, at M&T Bank Stadium has been canceled.

The live-event ticketing and marketing company lists “Event Canceled” on its page for “The R&B Tour — Starring Usher Raymond & Chris Brown.”

The Baltimore concert date also does not appear on tour producer Live Nation’s list of cities for the R&B performers’ current tour, or on M&T Bank Stadium’s calendar of events. The pair are performing in Houston this weekend, followed by MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Oct. 15. The next concert date listed after that is Atlanta on Nov. 5.

Neither Ticketmaster, Live Nation nor M&T Bank Stadium provided a reason specific to the Baltimore cancellation or said whether the show would be rescheduled.

Live Nation and stadium officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday night.

The NBC affiliate in Cincinnati reported that the Usher-Chris Brown concert set for Oct. 24 at Paycor Stadium has also been canceled. Ticketmaster said on its page for that concert that it would issue a refund to the original method of payment, as soon as it received funds from the event organizer. It said the funds should appear within 14 to 21 days.

No such note appears yet on the page for the Baltimore show.

Concerts scheduled for Oct. 29 in Columbia, South Carolina, and Oct. 31 in Indianapolis also no longer appear on the pair’s list of concert dates, according to news outlets.

Lucas Oil Stadium, the venue for the Indianapolis show, said in a statement Friday:

”Following an extensive run of sold-out stadium shows on one of the year’s biggest tours, the event promoter has made the difficult decision to cancel select upcoming dates on the R&B Tour to prioritize the health and well-being of the touring party and crew. The demands of a tour of this length and scale are significant, and these adjustments will allow the tour to continue safely and sustainably through the remaining scheduled performances.”

“We sincerely apologize to fans affected by these cancellations and appreciate their understanding,” the statement continued.

The New York Times reported in July that Brown was to be sentenced this month after he pleaded guilty in London to a charge of affray, or threatening violence, stemming from an accusation that he hit a music producer with a tequila bottle at a nightclub in that city.
