Bruno Mars woos fans with 'Romantic' tour stop in Houston this spring

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.
