Usher has officially wrapped the European leg of his blockbuster Past Present Future tour with a triumphant 10-night, sold-out residency at The O2 in London. Drawing over 200,000 fans in the capital alone—and more than 300,000 across stops in Paris, Amsterdam, and Berlin—this leg of the tour marked a historic moment in the R&B icon’s 30-year career.
Returning to London for the first time in a decade, Usher turned his O2 residency into more than just a tour stop—it was a cultural event. Blending vocal brilliance with signature choreography, elaborate costume changes, and a dazzling 15-minute roller-skating segment, each performance proved Usher’s command as a true showman. Star-studded cameos from Naomi Campbell, Eve, T.I., Craig David, and Tiwa Savage added even more excitement to the electric atmosphere.
Usher reflected on the experience, saying, “Over 200,000 people showed up for me here in London… That’s something I’ll never forget.” From early hits like “Call Me A Mack” and “Nice & Slow” to modern staples like “Yeah!” and “Good Good,” the show spanned his full career while continuing to push creative boundaries.
In between London dates, Usher managed to perform at the Met Gala in New York and headline a major event in Abu Dhabi, reinforcing his status as a global powerhouse. His European takeover followed the massive success of his North American run, and he’s now set to bring the tour to Australia in 2025.
The residency drew a who’s who of entertainment, with Idris Elba, Maya Jama, Letitia Wright, Little Simz, and many more spotted in the crowd. Usher was honored with a custom-designed acrylic award from The O2, a fitting tribute to an unforgettable chapter in his legacy.
