Usher confesses to new show at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center for Past Present Future tour
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- There is a confession to make. Grammy award-winning artist Usher will stop in Philadephia's Wells Fargo Center on Friday, Aug. 30 after wowing millions of viewers at the Super Bowl halftime show.
With heavy popular demand, a second Philadelphia show was added in an announcement Thursday morning.
The second show will be on Saturday, Aug. 31. His ninth album "Coming Home" is expected to be released on the weekend of the Super Bowl on Feb. 9.
The Past Present Future North American tour starts on Aug. 20 in Washington D.C. and ends in Chicago on Oct. 29.
Born in Dallas, Texas, and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, the 45-year-old wrapped up a successful two-year Las Vegas residency with 100 sold-out shows.
For a 30-year career, many say a halftime show is long overdue.
Presale tickets with Citi and Verizon started Wednesday, Feb. 7, and the presale for the new dates started Thursday at noon.
The general on-sale tickets will start on Monday, Feb. 12 at 10 a.m. on Live Nation.
There are at least six different VIP packages with one including a meet and greet, a VIP lounge experience and much more.
