Bruno Mars Announces 2026 Stadium Tour Dates With Anderson .Paak, Victoria Monet, Raye, Leon Thomas

Bruno Mars has announced "The Romantic Tour," a major global stadium run that will launch in support of his forthcoming solo album, his first in nearly ten years. Produced by Live Nation, the six-month itinerary begins on April 10 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and includes approximately 40 dates across North America and Europe. The schedule features premier venues like London's Wembley Stadium, New Jersey's MetLife Stadium, and Los Angeles's SoFi Stadium, promising a large-scale production. This marks a major comeback to solo touring for Mars, whose last album cycle was for the Grammy-sweeping "24K Magic" in 2016, which spawned a blockbuster world tour.

For every show, Mars will be accompanied by his Silk Sonic partner Anderson .Paak, performing in his DJ alter-ego, DJ Pee .Wee. The tour will also feature a rotating selection of opening acts, with Victoria Monét, Raye, and Leon Thomas scheduled across various cities. The North American leg is presented by MGM Resorts International and the Pinky Ring at Bellagio, highlighting Mars's longstanding connection to Las Vegas. The singer, known for his dynamic stage presence, has a history of successful Vegas residencies, including his recent "Bruno Mars at The Pinky Ring" shows at the Bellagio—a series that has cemented his status as a cornerstone of the city's live entertainment landscape.

The new album, "The Romantic," is set for release on February 27 via Atlantic Records. While it is his first solo studio effort since "24K Magic," Mars has remained a dominant chart force through high-profile collaborations. These include the acclaimed 2022 Silk Sonic project with Anderson .Paak, the global hit "Die With a Smile" with Lady Gaga, and "APT." with BLACKPINK's Rosé. This sustained output recently earned him Variety's 2025 Songwriter of the Year award. Industry observers predict the tour could rank among 2026's top-grossing concert treks, fueled by significant audience demand. "Mars has expertly curated a career that bridges timeless appeal with modern relevance, creating a live event demand that transcends typical album cycles," commented music business analyst Dr. Lena Shaw.
