This weekend, 16x GRAMMY-winning global superstar Bruno Mars kicked off his record-breaking, highly anticipated global outing, The Romantic Tour, with the first of two sold-out shows in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium. Marking Bruno’s first full headline tour in nearly a decade, the electrifying performance featured a career-spanning setlist of fan favorites alongside new tracks from his hit #1 Billboard album, The Romantic, released February 27, 2026, via Atlantic Records.
The show delivered a stunning production, blending cinematic staging, dynamic lighting, and immersive design elements that elevated the live experience. It opened with three fan favorites from his latest release, The Romantic—“Risk It All,” “Cha Cha Cha,” and “On My Soul.” Backed by an expanded 12-piece band, the set featured reimagined versions of hits including “24K Magic,” along with a high-energy retro remix of “Perm” and “Finesse.” “Why You Wanna Fight” brought a theatrical moment to the stage, complete with a thunderstorm, lightning effects, and a lowrider cruising down “Bruno Mars Drive.”

A full Silk Sonic segment with Bruno and Anderson .Paak took place midway through the show, marking the duo’s first live performance together outside of their 2022 Las Vegas residency. The five-song set opened with “Blast Off,” and continued with “777,” “Fly As Me,” and “Smokin’ Out the Window,” before closing with a stirring rendition of the chart-topping hit “Leave The Door Open.”
Spanning his extensive catalog, the show mixes new material with updated versions of fan favorites, providing a timeless, classic performance.
The show also featured support from GRAMMY Award winner Leon Thomas, who delivered an incredible set featuring favorites from his latest release, MUTT. Throughout the tour, fans can also expect performances from Victoria Monét and RAYE on select dates.
Ahead of opening night, the Las Vegas Strip and Clark County honored Bruno Mars with a series of celebrations and recognitions, highlighting his unique and lasting impact. April 10 was officially declared “Bruno Mars Day,” recognizing his deep roots and ongoing connection to the city. The festivities began with a high-energy parade down Las Vegas Blvd., which culminated in a ceremony and surprise performance at Toshiba Plaza. During the ceremony, he was presented with a key to the Las Vegas Strip—an honor reserved for those who have made a lasting contribution to the city’s cultural legacy. The presentation was led by senior officials, including Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo and Clark County Commissioner Jim Gibson, reflecting the significance of the recognition and Bruno’s deep connection to Las Vegas.
In a rare tribute, Park Avenue was officially renamed Bruno Mars Drive—joining the tradition of streets dedicated to iconic entertainers in the city, including Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. The recognition underscores Bruno’s longstanding relationship with Las Vegas, where he has performed for more than a decade, including his residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, which has drawn over 800,000 fans.

“Bruno Mars isn’t just a global superstar—he’s one of the most electrifying performers of our time, and over the past decade he’s become an integral part of Las Vegas,” said Bill Hornbuckle, CEO & President of MGM Resorts International. “From his early performances at Bellagio and MGM Grand to his record‑setting residency at Dolby Live, Bruno has drawn hundreds of thousands of visitors and has created the kind of unforgettable, ‘only in Vegas’ moments that define this city. It’s only fitting that we help launch his world tour here today as we honor his extraordinary impact on Las Vegas and the energy he brings to our community.”
In a powerful moment during the ceremony, Bruno announced a $1 million donation to the future Intermountain Health Nevada Children’s Hospital, supporting lifesaving care, advanced pediatric programs, and expanded access for children and families across the state.
In the lead-up to the tour launch, a series of fan-focused moments took place around the city, including a limited-time Hello Kitty x Bruno Mars pop-up at The Shoppes at Mandalay Place, where fans had the opportunity to meet Hello Kitty and shop exclusive, limited-edition merchandise, alongside Hello Kitty and Bruno Mars–themed café experiences across Las Vegas. Following its Las Vegas debut, the Hello Kitty x Bruno Mars pop-up—featuring the exclusive collection—will travel to select tour stops including Glendale, Arlington, Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto, and more. More details can be found on The Romantic Tour’s Instagram page, @theromanticworldtour or brunomars.com/theromanticworldtour.
The Romantic Tour now spans nearly 80 dates across North America, Europe, and the UK, cementing its place as one of the biggest global outings of the year. Notably, the tour delivered the largest single-day ticket sales in Live Nation history across North America, Europe and the UK, and set a Ticketmaster record with 2.1 million tickets sold in a single day. Originally announced with less than 40 dates, an additional 34 shows were added in response to incredible fan demand. The tour includes an extraordinary six-night run at Wembley Stadium in London, five nights at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, BC Place in Vancouver, and SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, four nights at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford and GNP Seguros in Mexico City, and multi-night plays across other markets.
The tour follows the arrival of Bruno Mars’ long-awaited fourth solo album, The Romantic, which was the biggest debut album of his career. The project officially debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking his first album ever to premiere at the top spot, and second No. 1 album on the chart after Unorthodox Jukebox in more than a decade. The album also hit No. 1 on Apple’s Global Album Chart, No. 1 on Spotify’s Global Album Chart, and No. 1 on Spotify’s Top US Album Chart. Itfeatures songs including the explosive “I Just Might,” which is Bruno’s 10th No. 1 single and inaugural No. 1 debut, as well as “Risk It All,” which landed at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 Chart and Billboard Streaming Songs List, and hit the No.1 spot on both Apple and Spotify’s Global and US song charts.
All North American dates on The Romantic Tour are sponsored by MGM Resorts International and The Pinky Ring at Bellagio.

The new tour builds on an incredible few years of global performances for Mars, including his acclaimed Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM and an extensive and record-breaking international touring run throughout Australia, Asia, the Middle East, and South America. In early 2024, Mars became the first international artist of the 21st century to hold seven consecutive sold-out concerts at the Tokyo Dome. In the fall of 2024, he achieved the highest-grossing tour in Brazilian history, performing 14 sold-out stadium shows across Brazil, spanning five cities — Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Brasília, Belo Horizonte, and Curitiba. In August of 2024, Mars also opened Los Angeles’ brand-new arena, Intuit Dome, with two sold-out performances, one of which featured a surprise on-stage duet with Lady Gaga, where they debuted the first live performance of “Die with a Smile.”
