Global pop superstar Bruno Mars is officially returning to the road. The Grammy-winning artist has revealed The Romantic Tour, marking his first full headlining stadium tour in almost 10 years and his first since the hugely successful 24K Magic World Tour in 2017. The announcement signals a major new era for Mars, who is also preparing to release his first solo album in a decade.

A Major Comeback Tour

The Romantic Tour will span 40 stadium shows across North America, Europe and the United Kingdom. The tour kicks off in Las Vegas in April and runs through October, wrapping up in Vancouver. Stops include major U.S. cities such as Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Miami, Nashville, Philadelphia and Los Angeles, along with international dates in Paris, Berlin, Milan, Madrid, Amsterdam and London. Multiple cities, including Toronto, Paris, Amsterdam, London and Inglewood, will host two-night runs. The scale of the tour underscores Mars’ continued global appeal, years after his last full solo trek.

Star-Studded Supporting Acts

Mars will be joined by a rotating lineup of high-profile supporting artists. His Anderson .Paak collaborator from Silk Sonic will appear at select dates under his DJ alter ego, DJ Pee .Wee. Other opening acts include Victoria Monét, Raye, and R&B standouts Leon Thomas and others, depending on the city. The diverse lineup reflects Mars’ ability to bridge pop, R&B and funk audiences.

New Album ‘The Romantic’ on the Way

The tour announcement comes alongside confirmation that Mars’ long-awaited solo album, The Romantic, will be released on February 27. The project marks his first solo studio album since 24K Magic and has already generated strong anticipation among fans. Mars has also teased a new single dropping Friday, January 9. The album is currently available for preorder.

Fans hoping to secure tickets should act quickly, as demand is expected to be high.

A Return Years in the Making

Mars’ 24K Magic World Tour became one of the highest-grossing tours of its time, cementing his status as one of pop’s most electrifying live performers. Since then, he has remained active through collaborations, including Silk Sonic, but fans have waited nearly a decade for a full-scale solo tour. With The Romantic Tour and a new album on the horizon, 2026 is shaping up to be one of the biggest years of Bruno Mars’ career.
