Bruno Mars Adds 30+ New Dates to ‘The Romantic Tour’

Promoters have announced a massive expansion of Bruno Mars's 2026 "Romantic Tour," adding over 30 new concerts after the initial schedule sold out within days. This surge in demand has transformed the Live Nation-produced trek into a nearly 70-date global stadium tour, marking Mars's first major solo headline run in almost ten years. To accommodate fans, multiple nights have been added in key cities. London's Wembley Stadium, a legendary venue that has staged historic concerts for acts like The Rolling Stones and Adele, will now host an extraordinary six-night residency in July, a rare commitment for any artist.

The updated tour map now includes second shows in Las Vegas, Chicago, and Milan, while Paris and Vancouver will each see three performances. The scale is further emphasized by four-night stands in Toronto, Amsterdam, East Rutherford, and Los Angeles. This ambitious expansion reflects Mars's enduring popularity and signals a strong public desire for his live return following his recent work with the Grammy-winning duo Silk Sonic, a collaboration with Anderson .Paak. Industry analysts point out that tours of this magnitude, often costing tens of millions to produce, are only greenlit for artists with proven, multi-generational appeal. The tour will support his upcoming fourth solo album, "The Romantic," set for release on February 27 by Atlantic Records, the label that has guided his career since his 2010 breakout album "Doo-Wops & Hooligans."

Adding a unique layer to the event, Mars will be joined on all dates by his Silk Sonic partner Anderson .Paak, who will perform opening DJ sets under his alias, Pee .Wee. The support lineup is equally notable, featuring a rotating cast including Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Victoria Monét, a frequent Mars collaborator; British pop sensation Raye, whose 2023 album "My 21st Century Blues" earned critical acclaim; and prolific writer-producer Leon Thomas, known for crafting hits for artists like SZA and Drake.

Substantial corporate backing is helping to fund the elaborate production, with MGM Resorts International and its Las Vegas cocktail lounge, The Pinky Ring at Bellagio, signed as the exclusive sponsors for all North American dates. Such partnerships have become a financial cornerstone for modern mega-tours, helping to defray costs that can exceed $500,000 per day in logistics and staging alone. As one touring executive noted, "In today's market, a sponsorship of this level isn't just beneficial—it's often essential to realize the artist's full creative vision on stage."

General ticket sales for the newly added shows, along with any remaining inventory for originally announced dates, will begin tomorrow, January 15, at 12 p.m. local time. The complete revised itinerary for The Romantic Tour 2026 is now available on the tour's official website.
