Bruno Mars is officially heading back on the road, and this time it is on a truly global scale. The 16-time Grammy Award winner has announced The Romantic Tour, a worldwide stadium run that will take him across North America, Europe and the Middle East from April through October.
The tour begins on 10 April in Las Vegas and concludes on 14 October in Vancouver, marking Mars’ first major stretch of global live performances in almost ten years. It also represents his first full stadium tour, a significant milestone for an artist whose live shows are already regarded as some of the most polished in pop music.
Anderson .Paak Joins Every Show, With Guests on Select Dates
Fans can also expect a familiar collaborator to be part of the journey. Anderson .Paak will open every date on the tour, performing as DJ Pee .Wee. While the pair will not be appearing under their Silk Sonic banner, their shared presence is likely to excite fans who have followed their successful partnership in recent years.
Additional artists will join Mars on selected dates, including Victoria Monét, RAYE and Leon Thomas. The rotating line-up adds variety to the tour and highlights a mix of established stars and rising talents who have each carved out strong identities in contemporary R&B and pop.
Tour Supports Upcoming Album ‘The Romantic’
The Romantic Tour is designed to support Mars’ forthcoming album, The Romantic, which is scheduled for release on 27 February. While details about the album remain tightly controlled, anticipation is already building, particularly as Mars is reportedly nominated in several 2026 Grammy categories ahead of the album’s rollout.
These nominations include Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Duo or Group Performance for “APT.”, his collaboration with Rosé. The timing of the tour places Mars in a strong position to capitalise on both new music and renewed awards attention.
Major Stadium Dates Across the US and Europe
The tour itinerary blends some of the largest stadiums in the United States with iconic European venues. Early US dates include Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, NRG Stadium in Houston and Soldier Field in Chicago.
European fans will see Mars headline venues such as Stade de France in Paris, Wembley Stadium in London and San Siro in Milan. The schedule is structured to move between continents smoothly, combining stadium shows with festival-scale venues through the spring and summer months.
Ticket Sales and Presale Information
An artist presale is scheduled for 14 January at 12pm local time. Fans must register via Bruno Mars’ official website by 12 January at 10am Pacific Time to gain access. General ticket sales will open on 15 January at 12pm local time, according to information released by Mars and Live Nation.
Given the scale of the venues and the long gap since Mars last toured globally, demand is expected to be high, particularly for key cities in Europe and North America.
A High-Profile Comeback to the World Stage
The Romantic Tour positions Bruno Mars firmly back at the centre of the global live music scene. With a new album on the way, major collaborators in tow and some of the world’s biggest stadiums on the schedule, the tour signals not just a return, but a statement.
For fans, it promises a mix of polished showmanship, musical nostalgia and fresh material, delivered on a scale that matches Mars’ standing as one of pop’s most consistent live performers.
