Bruno Mars is returning to large‑scale touring in 2026 with The Romantic Tour, tied to his upcoming fourth solo album The Romantic. The Live Nation–produced run is described as his first global stadium tour in nearly a decade, with dates across North America and Europe and an April launch in Las Vegas. Full routing and ticket information are listed on Bruno Mars’ official tour site.
The tour builds on the stage persona he has refined since 24K Magic: tightly arranged live shows built around a full band, choreography and a mix of funk, R&B and pop rather than elaborate visual effects. Anderson Paak is slated to appear on all dates as DJ Pee Wee, with artists such as RAYE, Leon Thomas and Victoria Monét joining selected stops, creating a bill that pairs an established headliner with newer R&B and pop acts. Industry coverage frames the run as a bet that a relatively rare Bruno Mars stadium tour still reads as an event in a crowded touring calendar.
Details about the sound of The Romantic remain limited, beyond broad positioning of the project as leaning into slower, more explicitly romantic material. Pre‑tour pieces emphasize demand—after years of Vegas residencies and festival appearances—more than they do specific new singles or a fully articulated album concept. For now, the emphasis is on scope and strategy: a multi‑continent itinerary that signals Mars intends to remain in the top tier of stadium‑level pop performers. What show will you attend?
