In what promises to be his biggest and boldest tour yet, Usher is heading to New Zealand in March 2011 for one massive arena show.
Following the huge success of his landmark sixth studio album Raymond V. Raymond and its extended play follow up Versus; Usher embarks on a worldwide tour to bring his slick R’n’B beats and dynamic style to eager New Zealand fans.
Released in March this year Raymond V. Raymond reached #2 on the ARIA Top 50 Album Chart and achieved Platinum status, making it Usher’s forth top ten album in Australia. In New Zealand Raymond V. Raymond reached the #8 spot on the RIANZ Top 40 Album Chart and stayed in the chart for 12 weeks.
