El Paso is proving it’s officially on the map when it comes to major concert stops and 2026 is already off to a great start. First, global superstars BTS locked in shows at the Sun Bowl, instantly putting the city in the national spotlight. 

Then came another huge announcement that had me shaking in my boots. Post Malone announced that he was also headed to the Sun Bowl, keeping the momentum going and giving fans yet another reason to get excited for live music in the borderland. 

Now, El Paso is adding yet another massive name to the lineup and it’s safe to say the city is starting the year strong with back-to-back blockbuster concert announcements!

Usher & Chris Brown Coming to El Paso’s Sun Bowl 

Cue my favorite radio drop “It’s 7 o’clock on the dot” because the king of baby making music, R&B superstar Usher, has officially announced his 2026 tour dates and El Paso made the list. 

Usher shared a post on his Instagram earlier this month teasing the upcoming tour with Chris Brown and the caption read: ITS TIME! #R&BTOUR #Raymond&Brown

No other details were provided, but fans were quick to react to the announcement commenting that they hoped the duo would make a stop in their hometown, and it looks like El Pasoans who were hoping for that to come true can celebrate in excitement because the tour will in fact be making a stop in the borderland!

The Grammy-winning artist will bring his highly anticipated show to the Sun Bowl Stadium on Saturday, October 3, adding another major night of live music to the city’s growing concert calendar.

Fans won’t just get Usher either. He’ll be joined by fellow hitmaker Chris Brown, making this a powerhouse lineup packed with decades of chart-topping hits.
