Usher’s Sydney tour 2025: Dates, Tickets, Venue & Set List

Usher Raymond, the architect of modern R&B, is coming to Sydney to perform four shows as part of his wider Past Present Future global tour. It’s an ostensible victory run for the legendary artist, who has been steaming up the charts for over three decades now. With Live Nation bringing the “Confessions” singer down to Sydney Olympic Park’s Qudos Bank Arena, R&B and pop music fans have been steadily tearing their hair out over Usher tickets.

Usher tickets go on sale this week for all four shows, which will take place across the first of December. Read below for everything you need to know about Usher coming to Sydney.

Where are Usher’s Sydney shows in December?

Usher will perform four shows at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney Olympic Park in early December. According to the Live Nation schedule, the “U Got It Bad” singer will perform his first Sydney show on Monday, December 1 followed by shows on Tuesday, December 2, Thursday, December 4, and Friday, December 5.

These shows will see Usher performing all his hits from his entire career, as well as highlights for his ninth studio album, Coming Home. This is a celebration of his career, giving us something Australia very rarely sees given its distance from the rest of the world and the effort and expense artists have to go put in include us on their world tours. Millions of people are expected to queue for tickets to see Usher, given his timeless popularity that has kept him relevant all these decades later.

Is there an Usher Sydney presale?

The cheapest tickets start at $129.99 for D Reserve tickets (that is, the nose bleed section) and they climb all the way up to $3.085.70 for the “Diamond Loveseat and VIP Experience.” There’s not much indication as to what this incredibly expensive ticket gets you, but based on the viral videos from his ongoing world tour, we imagine Usher will feed you cherries if you find yourself in this prime position.

How do I travel to the Qudos Bank Arena?

First of all, aim to arrive early to allow time for any unexpected delays. Around 21,000 people are expected to attend each night, and that’s a lot of people travelling in to see Usher in Sydney.

Train: Trains services run regularly between Central train station and Lidcombe and take around an hour. At Lidcombe, services to Olympic Park Station run every 10 minutes. From there, it’s just a five-minute walk to Qudos Bank Arena.

Bus: A number of services to and from Sydney Olympic Park operate on a daily basis, with the 526 practically taking you to the door. Check timetables and routes here.

Ferry: Make the most of Sydney’s fantastic ferry services and catch the ferry from Circular Quay to Wentworth Point. The journey lasts just under an hour, so the same as the train. Then hop on the Route 526 bus service from the wharf to the Sydney Olympic Park precinct for patrons attending events at Qudos Bank Arena.

Car: There are more than 10,000 onsite car parks throughout the Olympic Park precinct. The largest is P1 Car Park adjoining Qudos Bank Arena. Pre-booking is strongly advised.
