Bruno Mars is finally leaving his APT and hitting the road. The 16-time Grammy winner announced on January 8 that he is headlining a stadium world tour this year in support of his long-awaited fourth solo album, The Romantic. He’ll have a familiar wingman with him as he woos audiences across North America and Europe: his frequent Silk Sonic collaborator Anderson .Paak will be featured at all 40 shows as DJ Pee.Wee. Victoria Monét, Raye, and Leon Thomas will also perform with him in select cities. Mars is scheduled to drop the first single from The Romantic on January 9, with the full album arriving on February 27. That’ll give fans plenty of time to learn lyrics before the Romantic Tour kicks off on April 10 in Las Vegas — a very familiar stop for Mars. After all, the singer’s residency in Sin City famously lasted so long that MGM had to deny claims that he was sticking around because he’d gambled away $50 million and needed to pay it back. Mars took the rumors in stride, joking last summer that performing with Rosé during Blackpink’s tour had helped him get “almost out of debt BehhhhhBehhhhh!”
In any case, Mars’s bank account should get a big boost when tickets for the Romantic Tour go up for grabs during a January 14 presale and January 15 general sale at 12 p.m. local time on both days. If the singer sells out enough stadiums, maybe the casinos in Vegas will leave the door open for him to come through and burn some extra cash.
