Bruno Mars Announces “The Romantic Tour” with Two Massive Summer Shows at MetLife Stadium

Bruno Mars, the GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter, and performer, is returning to the stadium stage with his first full headline tour in nearly a decade. Dubbed The Romantic Tour, the global trek marks a major milestone for the superstar, whose 24K Magic World Tour captivated audiences worldwide back in 2017. Fans in New Jersey will have the chance to experience his signature energy, showmanship, and chart-topping hits with two consecutive performances at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on Friday, August 21, and Saturday, August 22, 2026.

Produced by Live Nation, The Romantic Tour spans nearly 40 dates across North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom, positioning it as one of the most highly anticipated global concert events of the year. The tour promises a spectacular blend of high-octane choreography, inventive stage production, and the soulful vocals that have made Mars one of the most electrifying performers of his generation. Audiences can expect to hear hits from across his career, from 24K Magic and Unorthodox Jukebox to his most recent releases, ensuring an unforgettable live experience for long-time fans and new listeners alike.

Tickets for the East Rutherford shows go on sale to the general public on Thursday, January 15, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET, with pre-sale opportunities available the day prior for registered fans. Access to the artist pre-sale on Wednesday, January 14, allows fans to secure prime seating by signing up in advance, ensuring early access to one of the summer’s hottest events. Attendees are encouraged to plan ahead, as Mars’ concerts are known to sell out quickly, reflecting his enduring popularity and reputation for high-energy performances.
