    Pop superstar Bruno Mars will hit the road in 2026 with his first full headline tour in nearly a decade, The Romantic Tour, which will include a stop at Houston's NRG Stadium on Wednesday, April 22.

    The 32-city world tour will have an initial 13-city North American leg in April and May, followed by a six-city European leg in June and July before finishing with another 13-city North American leg, August through October.

    In addition to Houston, Mars will perform in Arlington on April 18 and San Antonio on September 23.

    The tour is in support of Mars' long-awaited fourth solo album, The Romantic, which will be released on February 27.

    It is his first solo album in 10 years, following 24K Magic in 2016. He released the collaborative An Evening with Silk Sonic with Anderson .Paak in 2021.

    Mars will be joined on all dates by Anderson .Paak as DJ Pee .Wee. Leon Thomas will be the opening act in Arlington and Houston, and RAYE will join him in San Antonio.

    Mars is coming off another banner year with two hit songs — “Die With A Smile” with Lady Gaga and “APT.” with ROSÉ — that stayed at No. 1 for 18 weeks and 12 weeks, respectively.

    Those collaborations are par for the course for Mars, who has made songs with Gucci Mane, Cardi B, Ed Sheeran, and Chris Stapleton in recent years.

    To participate in the Bruno Mars Artist Presale on Wednesday, January 14 at 12 pm, fans must sign up at BrunoMars.com by Monday, January 12 at 12 pm.

    For events sold on Ticketmaster, no codes are needed — access is tied to an individual's Ticketmaster account, and anyone who signs up can join the sale.

    Remaining tickets will be available during the general on-sale beginning on Thursday, January 15 at 12 pm at BrunoMars.com.

    Country singer Riley Green kicks off RodeoHouston with Toby Keith tribute

    Country singer Riley Green opened RodeoHouston on Monday, March 2.

    Looking like a member of the Dutton clan that grew tired of the ranching business and got really into Toby Keith and duck hunting, Riley Green opened the 2026 edition of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on Monday, March 2 in front of 59,250 attendees.

    The Alabama native and former college football quarterback — because of course he was — strikes a starched jeans balance between the tender, woo-pitchin’ of guys like Merle Haggard and George Jones and the deep, blinding romance of neo-traditionalists Tracy Lawrence and fellow 2026 RodeoHouston performer Tim McGraw, with a cowboy hat resting over his epic flow.

    Speaking of the Taylor Sheridan Television Universe (the TSTU), Green will soon be seen on the Sheridan-produced Yellowstone spin-off series Marshals, which premiered on CBS this past weekend, as a troubled former Navy SEAL.

    The ACM New Male Artist of the Year for 2020, the 37-year-old didn’t get around to playing RodeoHouston until just last year. When Green isn’t in a recording studio, performing onstage, starting a duck hunting brand, or conspicuously vacationing with his shirt off in a tropical climate near other young country stars, he retreats to his farm or deep into a far-flung swamp on a hunting excursion. That being said, if I ever start a country punk band, I’m going to call it Riley Green’s Forearms, because they seem to attract audiences as much as his music.

    Green’s show kicked off just after 9:20 pm with the man himself blowing into a duck call and launching into “Different ‘Round Here,” luckily out of earshot of any ducklings NRG Center potentially bedding down for the night.

    “Hell Of A Way To Go” came with a mid-song disclaimer that it was his grandfather who was a fan of Alabama football, lest any alumni in the crowd get things twisted, before switching it to up Texas.

    Green honored his mentor, Jamey Johnson, with a widescreen cover of the woolly singer-songwriter’s timeless “In Color”. Green’s earliest work was heavily influenced by Johnson, and the pair have become lasting friends.

    He and fellow country star Ella Langley have become inexorably linked since their 2024 chart-topping duet "You Look Like You Love Me” like a nu-country Conway and Loretta. Sadly, there was no convertible riding out onto the rodeo dirt with Langley riding shotgun to jump into the duet, but the female audience members filled in admirably in her stead. "There Was This Girl," his gold-certified debut single, followed it up.

    The late Toby Keith got some shine with a medley of his hits, including Green taking a turn at Keith’s 2002 anthem "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue," which has earned something of a resurgence due to the USA hockey team singing it at the Winter Olympics.

    Green slowed things down and took a break on a stool for “Jesus Saves” and “Don’t Mind If I Do,” showing off his solo acoustic chops.

    The smoldering bedroom romp “Worst Way” got the biggest squeals of the night, with tall boys hoisted over cowboy hats, while his 2019 hit, "I Wish Grandpas Never Died" — the triple-platinum tribute to his late grandfathers, Lendon Bonds and Buford Green — brought the waterworks and a sea of smartphone flashlights through the stadium.

    Green made his way out of the building with his band’s take on Alabama’s “Dixieland Delight,” jumping into a Ford pickup and into a few thousand fans’ dreams.
