Usher & Chris Brown Scrap November 16 SoFi Show As Refund Notices Arrive

Usher and Chris Brown ticket holders are getting refund notices instead of a second night at SoFi Stadium. Their Monday, November 16 concert in Inglewood has been canceled, while the November 15 show remains on the calendar.

A ticket holder’s Ticketmaster account supplied the clearest sign of the change, according to TMZ, which obtained a screenshot showing the event marked “CANCELED.” Buyers received notice that their money would be refunded.

The surviving Sunday date matters for anyone trying to figure out whether the entire Los Angeles stop is gone. Live Nation’s current tour listing still advertises November 15 at SoFi, with no November 16 performance among its upcoming shows.

That change comes as the pair deal with refund demands over their first Atlanta concert, a different problem involving a show that actually happened. Ticket holders complained that the November 5 performance started around 10 P.M. instead of its advertised 7:30 P.M. start.

Their complaints weren’t only about waiting, because the two headliners also performed separate sets without sharing a song that night. A petition seeking refunds or another performance had passed 1,200 signatures by Sunday, and some concertgoers said an apology would be enough.

Reports have attributed the Atlanta delay to a backstage disagreement over whether to wait for people caught in traffic. Its sources said Usher wanted to begin on time while Brown wanted more ticket holders to reach the stadium first.

But the reason for the SoFi cancellation hasn’t been established. The cancellation notice concerns November 16, and it doesn’t establish that the remaining joint tour dates are being scrapped.

The singers have shared the stage again since that difficult Atlanta opening, including during their Sunday performance.

Their calendar still includes tonight (November 11) before the remaining Southern California date. Their Friday set had already included joint appearances on Back to Sleep and the remix of It Depends.

The next listed stop after SoFi is New Orleans, with Caesars Superdome shows on November 20 and November 21.
