OMG Tour was the fourth by American recording artist Usher. Visiting North America, Asia, Europe and Australia, the tour accompanies his sixth studio album, Raymond v. Raymond (2010), as well as his first extended play, Versus (2010). At the conclusion of 2011, the tour placed seventh on Billboard's annual, "Top 25 Tours", earning nearly $75 million with 73 shows.

Background
In the summer of 2010, Usher competed in a dance battle against fellow R&B artist Chris Brown at the . The battle sparked an Internet rumor of the two possibly going on tour. This was further pushed by producer alluding that the two artists may be unaware of this upcoming tour. The singers later took to to ask who the fans would like to see them perform with. On September 8, 2010, the singer announced his touring trek (and revealed it was solo) for North America. Due to demand, many additional stops in Europe and Australia were added. It is Usher's first arena tour since The Truth Tour in 2004. To introduce the tour, Usher stated,
"Live performance has always been my thing. It's my purpose to master and capture the moment every time I have you connected. For me, I wanted to make sure that it was state of the art. I wanted to make sure that, in comparison to the other shows that are going on around the world, you get the type of experience that leave you saying, 'OMG.' ... The look of the tour, it's a little futuristic but enough to capture your attention and leave you saying, 'OMG.' That's the whole point. With an incredible record, I wanted to also leave a great impression.

Concert synopsis
The show began with Usher descending to the stage and then performing "Monstar", "She Don't Know" and "Yeah!" while wearing a helmet-like headpiece. During "Caught Up" he sang into a gold gun-shaped microphone, with which he performed tricks. The choreography of "More" included . While Usher sang "OMG", fireworks and confetti were set off.

Critical reception
The Dallas Morning News Mario Tarradell enjoyed the show, writing that "splash and flash areUsher's key ingredients." Jim Harrington of San Jose Mercury News commended Usher's dancing ability, but criticized the show for over-using "distracting" theatrical effects, saying that "the best parts of the big-budget 'OMG' show came when the bells and whistles stopped and the fans were allowed to concentrate all their attention on Usher".

Broadcast and recordings
The DVD of the OMG Tour was filmed on February 21, 2011, at The O2 Arena in London, directed by . The DVD was released as OMG Tour: Live From London on October 31, 2011.
