Rihanna's ex has enjoyed a string of hit singles since his 2009 arrest for attacking her.

Assuming he won't get arrested again for beating up a woman over the next four months, Chris Brown will make his return to the Twin Cities to play Target Center on March 3 on a co-headlining tour with his longtime pal Trey Songz.

The two multi-platinum R&B singers are scheduled to hit 25 cities together on their Between the Sheets Tour starting Jan. 28, tickets for which go on sale Thursday through pre-sale offers and on Monday for the general public. Seats for the Target Center show can be had Monday at noon through AXS.com, 1-888-9-AXS-TIX or the arena box office for $49.75-$99.75.

Although he was arrested on another assault charge last year, Brown bounced right back from the legal and publicity hits he took after physically attacking girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. He has landed a steady string of top 20 singles since then, including "Yeah x3," "Look at Me Now," "Deuces" and the more recent "Loyal." His buddy Trey hasn't matched the success of his 2010 Nicki Minaj collaboration "Bottoms Up" of late, but he has launched a budding acting career with roles in "Texas Chainsaw 3D" and "Baggage Claim."

Brown's last time in town was for the KDWB Jingle Ball in 2008 at Xcel Energy Center, just a couple months before the attack on his ex. Rihanna headlined that night and shared the stage with Brown.
