Bruno Mars Has announced "The Romantic Tour," Featuring Victoria Monét, Leon Thomas, And RAYE

Bruno Mars has announced the dates and supporting acts for his upcoming “The Romantic Tour,” his first solo album in nearly a decade. On January 8, the singer revealed that Victoria Monét, Leon Thomas, and RAYE will join him in selected cities starting in April.

Anderson .Paak, known as DJ Pee .Wee, will serve as the official DJ for the tour, which begins in Las Vegas on April 10 and travels to major cities including Atlanta, Chicago, and Detroit. Thomas, who will have recently completed the European leg of his “Mutts Don’t Heel Tour,” will accompany Mars during the first North American leg, which concludes in May.

Monét will perform at the European and U.K. dates, and upon returning to the U.S., RAYE will take on opening responsibilities through October. Presale for tickets starts on January 14, with general public sales following later. More details are available on the tour flyer.

Mars’ fourth solo album, The Romantic, is set to be released on February 27. The first single from the album is expected to drop on January 9. The complete tracklist and featured artists will be announced later, but the tour lineup may provide some hints about contributors to the album.

Currently, Mars has not collaborated with Thomas, Monét, or RAYE, although he has worked with .Paak in their duo Silk Sonic, releasing their debut project in 2021. Since then, Mars has enjoyed commercial success with hits such as “APT.” featuring ROSÉ and the Grammy-winning “Die With A Smile” featuring Lady Gaga.

Thomas has been nominated for multiple categories at the upcoming Grammy Awards in February following his releases, PHOLKS and HEEL, last year. Monét has indicated that she is working on a highly anticipated follow-up to her 2023 album, JAGUAR II.
