Pop icon Bruno Mars is ready to sweep fans off their feet once again. The 16-time Grammy winner has officially announced a massive new stadium run that promises music, emotion, and unforgettable collaborations. Titled Bruno Mars Unveils His World Stadium Tour — Featuring a Star-Studded Lineup of Famous Friends, the upcoming journey will take romance on the road across continents.
The announcement came on Thursday morning, January 8, sending waves of excitement through the music world. Mars revealed that his highly anticipated Romantic Tour will kick off this April, shortly after the release of his brand-new album, The Romantic. Stretching all the way through mid-October, the tour will see him lighting up stadiums across North America, Canada, and Europe.
A Star-Studded Cast Joins the Journey
What makes this tour even more special is the lineup of powerhouse artists joining Mars on stage. His longtime collaborator and Anderson .Paak, best known as his partner in Silk Sonic, will appear as a featured guest at every single stop of the tour. Fans can expect the same electric chemistry that made their collaboration such a cultural moment.
Adding even more excitement, acclaimed singer RAYE, breakout star Victoria Monét, and rising talent Leon Thomas will rotate as supporting acts throughout the tour, depending on the city. Each show promises a slightly different flavor, making every date feel unique.
Ticket Sales and Presale Details
Fans eager to secure their seats won’t have to wait long. A ticket presale opens on January 14 through Mars’ official website, giving registered fans early access before the general sale begins the following day. Given the scale of the tour and the star power involved, tickets are expected to move fast.
This announcement has only fueled anticipation for what is shaping up to be one of the biggest live music events of the year.
The Long-Awaited Return of a Solo Album
The Romantic Tour also marks a major milestone in Mars’ career. After nearly a decade, the superstar is finally releasing his fourth solo studio album. The Romantic is set to drop on February 27, exactly ten years after his last solo LP, 24K Magic, which arrived in 2016.
For longtime fans, this release feels especially meaningful. While the wait has been long, Mars has remained a dominant force in music throughout the years.
A Decade of Hits and Collaborations
Even without a solo album, Mars has stayed firmly at the top of the charts. In 2021, he and Anderson .Paak formed Silk Sonic, delivering a string of smooth, retro-inspired hits. Their single “Leave the Door Open” soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, cementing their place as one of the most celebrated duos of the decade.
More recently, Mars dominated 2025 with two massive collaborations. His emotional duet with Lady Gaga, “Die With a Smile,” finished the year at No. 1 on Billboard’s year-end Hot 100 chart, while his collaboration with ROSÉ, “APT.,” landed comfortably in the top 10.
A Tour Fans Won’t Forget
With a new album, a globe-spanning stadium tour, and an ensemble of celebrated artists, Bruno Mars Unveils His World Stadium Tour — Featuring a Star-Studded Lineup of Famous Friends feels less like a typical concert run and more like a worldwide celebration. For fans old and new, this era of Bruno Mars promises romance, soul, and showmanship on a truly grand scale.
