All about Bruno Mars’ ‘The Romantic Tour’
Bruno Mars’ ‘The Romantic Tour’ kicked off in April 2026 in Las Vegas, setting the stage for his fourth studio album, ‘The Romantic’. It’s his first solo album in nearly ten years, so the excitement’s huge. The tour rolls through North America and Europe, mixing the brand-new tracks with hits everyone knows by heart.It’s been almost a decade since Mars hit the road. He’s spent most of his time in Vegas with his Park MGM residency or popping up for overseas shows here and there. But on April 10, at Allegiant Stadium (now with a street named after him, per People), Mars came roaring back, selling out two huge shows.According to USA Today, for over two hours, he brought together every chapter of his 15-year career. Remember ‘Just the Way You Are’ and ‘Marry You?’ They flowed right alongside the new hit ‘I Just Might’ and the opener ‘Risk It All’. Anderson .Paak even showed up for a set of Silk Sonic grooves.At 40, Mars is every bit the showman, dancing in perfect sync with the Hooligans, alive in every moment. Per the outlet, his return to touring, especially in North America, sold out so fast they had to tack on 32 more shows. Tickets moved so quickly for the originally planned 39-date stadium run that Mars broke multiple sales records, including Live Nation’s single-day record across North America, Europe, and the UK, plus a Ticketmaster record: 2.1 million tickets sold in one day.As for the tour, it’s got star power, too. Anderson .Paak plays every date (as DJ Pee Wee), and openers swap out, with Leon Thomas covers through May, Victoria Monét joins the European run this summer, and RAYE comes in for North American dates in late summer and fall, from August through October.Here’s what fans got on the opening night of Bruno Mars ‘The Romantic Tour’:1.
