The Grammy award winning artist, who will be backed on the COTA Super Stage by the sounds of one of the best bands in the business - neo-soul artists, The Roots - has been drafted in as a replacement for The Weeknd, who had to cancel his performance.
Usher and The Roots join previously announced headliner Taylor Swift, who is set to perform a collection of her biggest hits from the last decade after qualifying on the Saturday. It will be her first performance since ending The 1989 World Tour - the most successful tour of last year.
Three-day tickets for the Austin race - which include access to the Taylor Swift concert on Saturday and the Usher concert on Sunday - are available to purchase in the F1 Ticket Store.
