On January 5th, Bruno Mars announced that his newest album was finished. He announced it with no formal explanation of what the album is or when it will be released. On January 8, he announced his tour dates and the name of the album. This will be his first album after an almost decade-long break called “The Romantic.” It’s set to release on February 27, 2026, with some songs available on February 10.
This tour will take place across North America, Europe, and the UK. It kicks off in Las Vegas in Allegiant Stadium and finishes in October in Vancouver. There are 38 locations on the tour list, spanning the globe. He will also feature guest artists performing at select locations during the tour, including RAYE, Leon Thomas, Victoria Monét, and Anderson Paak, who will be DJing as DJ Pee. Wee. Fans can register for the presale tickets now through Monday, January 12th. General ticket sales begin three days later, on January 15th.
Though Mars hasn’t released an album since 2016, he has continued to be successful through 2024 and 2025. The songs, “Die With A Smile” (featuring Lady Gaga) and “APT” (featuring Rose), were hits. These collaborations helped him become the first-ever artist to win 150 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
Since this show spans across many months, the guest artists Mars mentioned will all be performing in different months. The only artist who will be at every show is Anderson Paak. For the spring tour dates, Leon Thomas is the special guest. Victoria Monét will be featured for the European leg, and RAYE for the final North American stretch.
Rumors have been circulating about Mars “cancelling” his tour. Many people believe the reason for fans posting this is so they can get tickets more quickly. This shows that this tour has already been a huge hit and will continue to be successful whenever the tour begins.
