🌤 mostly sunny · high 73°, low 55°
Usher and Chris Brown share a stadium bill at Levi's tonight, which settles the evening question early. Before that, this is a learn-something-free kind of Tuesday: the libraries have ukulele, origami that doubles as a coding lesson, and a bilingual storytime, and Sunnyvale cuts the ribbon on its new on-demand rideshare at 9 AM. Mostly sunny, high of 73.
Tonight's pick
Usher & Chris Brown - The R&B Tour
7:00 PM · Levi's Stadium · Santa Clara
Two R&B headliners performing together on one stadium bill is the show you would be annoyed to hear about tomorrow. Usher and Chris Brown bring The R&B Tour to Levi's, and nothing else tonight competes at that scale.
