Global superstar Bruno Mars today announced his long-awaited return to the spotlight with the news of his fourth solo album, The Romantic, arriving everywhere on February 27, 2026. In support of the new project, Mars will embark on The Romantic Tour, marking his first full headline outing in nearly a decade and his first-ever global stadium tour.
Produced by Live Nation, the 2026 tour will span nearly 40 shows across North America, Europe, and the UK. The journey kicks off on Friday, April 10 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and will feature back-to-back nights at iconic venues including Wembley Stadium, Stade de France, and SoFi Stadium.
A DECADE IN THE MAKING: ‘THE ROMANTIC’
Marking ten years since his last solo studio effort, The Romantic follows a period of unprecedented chart dominance. Fans can get their first taste of the new era tomorrow, Friday, January 9, with the release of the album’s lead single.
The announcement comes as Mars continues to shatter industry records. In January 2025, he became the first artist in Spotify history to surpass 150 million monthly listeners. He also remains a titan of the RIAA, holding seven Diamond-certified singles, with “Just the Way You Are” currently standing as the highest-certified song in history at 21x Platinum.
His recent collaborations have set a new bar for global success:
-
“Die With A Smile” (with Lady Gaga): The fastest song in Spotify history to reach 1 billion streams; 18 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Global 200.
-
“APT.” (with ROSÉ): Apple Music’s most globally streamed song of 2025 and a three-time 68th Annual GRAMMY® nominee, including Record and Song of the Year.
THE ROMANTIC TOUR 2026
Joining Mars across all dates is nine-time GRAMMY® winner and Silk Sonic collaborator Anderson .Paak as DJ Pee .Wee. The tour will also feature special guests Victoria Monét, RAYE, and Leon Thomas in select markets.
