Bruno Mars is hitting the road in a big way after a lengthy hiatus from touring, announcing his first stadium tour in nearly a decade with a slate of dates across North America beginning spring 2026.
The pop superstar will bring “The Romantic Tour” to venues nationwide starting April 10 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, confirms Live Nation, which is producing the massive 40-date stadium trek. The tour coincides with Mars’ fourth solo studio album “The Romantic,” set for release on February 27, 2026 — his first solo project in ten years.
Fans in North Texas can catch the 15-time Grammy winner when he performs at Globe Life Field in Arlington on April 18, 2026, according to tour information. But that’s just one stop on what’s shaping up to be an extensive global outing spanning multiple continents.
Star-Studded Support
Mars isn’t traveling alone. The tour will feature an impressive lineup of supporting acts, including his Silk Sonic collaborator Anderson .Paak performing as DJ Pee .Wee on all dates. “Bruno Mars will be joined by a strong slate of special guests,” notes Ticketmaster’s official blog, with additional support coming from RAYE, Leon Thomas, and Victoria Monét at various stops throughout the tour.
The extensive stadium run represents a significant scaling up for Mars, marking his first-ever full stadium tour. Previous outings have mixed arenas and stadiums, but this represents his most ambitious touring production to date.
Looking for multiple chances to see the show? The tour schedule includes back-to-back performances in several major markets, including consecutive nights at SoFi Stadium on October 2 and 3, reveals the venue’s official announcement.
Long-Awaited Return
Why such excitement around this particular tour? For starters, it’s been years since Mars mounted a full-scale tour. “Bruno Mars’ 2026 tour is officially titled The Romantic Tour — his first full global stadium tour in nearly ten years,” states SeatGeek’s event listing.
The tour will be divided into two North American legs, with dates running April 10–May 24 and then resuming August 21–October 10, 2026. The final show currently listed is scheduled for October 14 in Vancouver, indicates information about the tour schedule.
What’s driving the singer’s return to the road? “The tour announcement follows recent news of Bruno’s long-awaited fourth solo album, The Romantic, arriving everywhere on February 27, 2026 via Atlantic Records,” explains a press release about the tour.
Ticket Information
Mark your calendars if you’re hoping to secure seats. “PRESALES BEGIN WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14TH AT 12PM LOCAL TIME. GENERAL ONSALE BEGINS THURSDAY, JANUARY 15TH AT 12PM LOCAL TIME,” announces Mars’ official website.
Given Mars’ popularity and the lengthy gap between tours, demand is expected to be exceptionally high. The tour’s extensive schedule — spanning approximately six months from April to October — suggests the artist is preparing for what could be one of 2026’s highest-grossing concert tours.
For Mars, whose last major solo album “24K Magic” was released in 2016, the combination of new music and a return to touring represents his most significant career move in years. Fans who’ve waited patiently through his collaborations and selective performances will finally have their chance to see the showman return to his element — commanding stadium stages across the continent.
