All about Bruno Mars’ “Romance Tour”.
Bruno Mars’ “The Romantic Tour” kicks off in April 2026 in Las Vegas, paving the way for his fourth studio album, “The Romantic.” It’s his first solo album in nearly ten years, so the excitement is huge.
The tour spans North America and Europe, mixing brand new tracks with hits everyone knows by heart.It’s been nearly a decade since Mars hit the road. He spent most of his time in Vegas with residencies at Park MGM or popping up for outside shows here and there. But on April 10, at Allegiant Stadium (which now has a street named after him, according to People magazine), Mars came back with a vengeance, selling out two huge shows.According to USA Today, for more than two hours, he compiled every chapter of his 15-year career.
Remember “as you are” and “marrying you?” They streamed along with the new hit song “I Just Might” and opener “Risk It All.” Anderson .Paak even appeared on a bunch of Silk Sonic’s grooves.At 40, Mars is every bit the showman, dancing in perfect sync with the hooligans, alive in every moment. According to the outlet, tickets for his return to touring, especially in North America, sold out so quickly that they had to play 32 more shows. Tickets moved so quickly for the originally planned 39-day stadium run, that the Mars team broke several sales records, including Live Nation’s single-day record across North America, Europe and the United Kingdom, as well as a Ticketmaster record: 2.1 million tickets sold in a single day.As for the tour, it has star power as well. Anderson .Paak plays each date (as DJ Pee Wee), the openers are swapped out, with Leon Thomas covers through May, Victoria Monét joins the European run this summer, and RAYE comes in for North American dates in the late summer and fall, from August through October.Here’s what fans got on opening night for Bruno Mars’ “Romance Tour”:1.
