Global entertainment icon USHER has brought his landmark USHER: Past Present Future Tour to a close in London, completing an extraordinary 10-night sold-out residency at The O2, London. More than 200,000 fans filled the arena across the run, with the European leg, which also visited Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin, drawing in over 300,000 fans in total.

London that formed the heart of this tour. A city that has long embraced USHER and his music, the UK’s capital became the place he chose to begin and end this latest chapter of his 30-year career. Each night at The O2 was a reminder of USHER’s next level showmanship, where, across 10 performances, he delivered an arena-scale production packed with vocal precision, signature choreography, multiple costume changes and a standout 15-minute skating sequence.

Surprise appearances from Naomi Campbell, Eve, Craig David, T.I. and Tiwa Savage added even more buzz to a run that felt less like a tour stop and more like a residency rooted in the city’s culture. 

USHER says, “Over 200,000 people showed up for me here in London… That’s something I’ll never forget. I’ve been doing this for 30 years, but the energy you gave me each night felt brand new. It’s been 10 years since I last performed in this city, and to come back like this… I don’t take it lightly. Every night I looked out into that crowd and saw faces that have been with me from the start, and faces I’m just meeting now. That’s what keeps me going. This show wasn’t just mine, it was yours too. I couldn’t have done any of it without the fans who showed up time and time again. Thank you for making this moment so powerful.”

With 10 nights of unparalleled energy, USHER leaves London having raised the standard for what an arena residency can be.
