TICKETS GO ON SALE MONDAY, JULY 5TH
Hot off the record-breaking success of his #1 album, Confessions, multi-platinum superstar LaFace/Zomba Label Group recording artist Usher will embark on the US leg of his "The Truth" Tour Presented by MTV. The tour will play arenas and coliseums around the country, kicking off August 5, 2004 in Hampton, VA. Usher will bring his "The Truth" Tour to Toronto on Monday, August 9th.
This new tour will feature theatrical set designs, sexy wardrobe changes, full live band, and � of course � Usher's signature moves. The Los Angeles Times raved about his 2002 "Evolution 8701" tour, calling Usher a "skilled singer and tremendous dancer," and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution proclaimed it "a show like no other." In a recent interview with USA Today, Usher promises "The Truth" tour will be even bigger, saying it will be "a night to remember." Joining Usher will be Kanye West for what promises to be the hottest tour of the summer.
In March, Usher dropped his fourth studio album, Confessions, which sold 1.1 million copies in its first week, the highest ever debut in Soundscan history by an R&B artist. Confessions spent nine weeks at #1 � the longest stint at #1 since Santana's 1999 album Supernatural � and has already been certified 4x platinum. It continues to sell huge numbers as Usher dominates at radio each week; currently holding the #1 and #2 singles with Burn and Confessions. Earlier this month, Usher became only the third artist in history (joining the Beatles and the Bee Gees) to net three Top Ten singles in one week.
