Usher's 'Past Present Future Tour' starts tonight in Atlanta | What to know

The shows kick off at 8 p.m. at State Farm Arena, with doors opening at 7 p.m.

ATLANTA — Peace Up, A-Town down! Usher will kick off his Atlanta tour stops on his 'Past Present Future Tour' beginning tonight.

Fans can see the "Superstar" singer at three shows on Oct. 17, 18 and 20 at State Farm Arena at 8 p.m., with doors opening at 7 p.m.

The 24-city tour follows an explosive year for Usher and celebrates the iconic R&B crooner's 30-year career. It will feature songs from his latest album, 'Coming Home.' 

The shows come after his initial tour-opening shows were rescheduled in August due to the singer sustaining a neck injury. If you were slated to attend those shows, there's no need to get "Caught Up"--those dates have been postponed to Dec. 9, 10 and 12.
