(INDIANAPOLIS - January 8, 2026) - Global superstar Bruno Mars today announced The Romantic Tour, marking his first full headline tour in nearly a decade following the massively successful 24K Magic World Tour, which first launched in 2017. Produced by Live Nation, the 2026 tour will be the first full headlining stadium tour by the GRAMMY® Award-winning performer and include a stop in downtown Indianapolis on Wednesday, September 9, 2026 at Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts. The tour will span nearly 40 shows across North America, Europe, and the UK, marking one of the biggest global outings of the year.

The tour launches on Friday, April 10, in Las Vegas, NV, at Allegiant Stadium and will see Mars bring his larger-than-life energy to major cities including Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, Toronto, Paris, Amsterdam, Milan, Denver, Miami, Indianapolis and more. All North American dates on The Romantic Tour are sponsored by MGM Resorts International and The Pinky Ring at Bellagio.

Joining Mars across all dates is nine-time GRAMMY® award-winning artist and Silk Sonic collaborator Anderson .Paak as DJ Pee .Wee. Additional support in Indianapolis will be provided by RAYE.

This new tour builds on an incredible few years of global performances for Mars, including his acclaimed Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM and an extensive and record-breaking international touring run throughout Australia, Asia, the Middle East, and South America. In early 2024, Mars became the first international artist of the 21st century to hold seven consecutive sold-out concerts at the Tokyo Dome. Notably, in the fall of 2024, he achieved the highest-grossing tour in Brazilian history, performing 14 sold-out stadium shows across Brazil, spanning five cities — Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Brasília, Belo Horizonte, and Curitiba. In August of 2024, Mars also opened Los Angeles’ brand-new arena, Intuit Dome, with two sold-out performances, one of which featured a surprise on-stage duet with Lady Gaga, where they debuted the first live performance of “Die with a Smile.”

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. Pre-order the exclusive vinyl HERE. The news coincides with the release of the project’s first single, which will be released tomorrow, January 9.

The new project comes in the wake of Mars’ continued chart success, with recent singles including the GRAMMY® award-winning “Die With A Smile” with Lady Gaga, which became the fastest song in Spotify history to reach 1 billion streams and topped the Billboard Global 200 Chart for a record-tying 18 weeks, as well as the pervasive “APT.” with ROSÉ—the latter of which was just crowned the most globally streamed song of 2025 by Apple Music, and scored 19 weeks at number one on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. Chart and 12 weeks at number one on the Billboard Global 200 Chart. Beyond its massive global chart achievements, “APT.” also won “Song of the Year” at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, and earned three nominations at this year’s 68th Annual GRAMMY® Awards for “Song of the Year,” “Record of the Year,” and “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.”

His 24K Magic World Tour was among the highest-grossing tours in history, and within the top ten highest-grossing of the 2010s.

About Anderson .Paak: Multi-hyphenate global superstar Anderson .Paak has no plans of slowing down. He spent his childhood playing drums in his church band in Oxnard, California. Continuing to pursue his passion, he released his debut album, Venice, in 2014 followed by Malibu two years later, landing him his first GRAMMY nomination. By 2021, he had four GRAMMY wins under his belt, most notably for his single “Lockdown,” which was released on Juneteenth following his participation in a Los Angeles protest against police brutality. The same year, he debuted his collaborative R&B superduo Silk Sonic, alongside Bruno Mars, whose single “Leave The Door Open” garnered over one billion streams, earned them four more GRAMMYs and lead to a sold-out Vegas residency.

Now a 9x GRAMMY Award winner, producer, songwriter, artist & director, Anderson .Paak continues to expand his achievements. Debuting in 2022, his alter ego DJ Pee .Wee showcases his Vinyl DJ sets with past performances at the likes of the Met Gala, F1 Las Vegas, and Coachella. Meanwhile, he founded his label APESHIT, teaming up with Universal Music Group, while also directing multiple music videos, landing a 2022 BET Award for “Best Director” and being credited on the highly regarded music video for Leon Bridges’ “Motorbike.”

.Paak premiered his feature film directorial debut K-POPS at TIFF in September 2024 to a standing ovation. K-POPS is slated for a wide release in 2026. His latest album, Why Lawd? under his group project NxWorries with producer Knxwledge won the Best Progressive R&B Album at the 2025 Grammy Awards. He also continues his philanthropic efforts with the Brandon Anderson Foundation with his annual .Paak House event which benefits underserved youth in areas of art & music.
