Bruno Mars Announces The Romantic Tour: Toronto Gets Its Moment!

Listen, Toronto. Bruno Mars just dropped some news that’s about to make your spring plans a whole lot more expensive , and infinitely more worth it.

The global superstar just announced The Romantic Tour, his first full headline tour in nearly a decade, and guess what? Toronto locked in two back-to-back nights: Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24, 2026 at Rogers Stadium. Circle those dates, clear your calendar, and start manifesting those ticket gods now.

First Stadium Tour, Maximum Energy

This isn’t just any comeback tour , it’s Bruno’s first-ever full headlining stadium outing. We’re talking massive production, that signature Mars showmanship, and enough energy to power the entire Rogers Centre district. Toronto’s two-night stand is the headline moment.

Here’s the headline for us: Toronto gets the back-to-back stadium takeover. But let’s be real , Toronto’s where it’s at, and Bruno knows it.

Anderson .Paak Brings the Beats

Here’s where things get even better. Nine-time GRAMMY winner Anderson .Paak will be on deck in Toronto as DJ Pee .Wee. If you’ve been sleeping on .Paak’s DJ sets, this is your wake-up call. The man who gave us Silk Sonic magic with Bruno is bringing those vinyl vibes to the stadium experience.

And the supporting acts? Chef’s kiss. Toronto lineup details are still rolling out. Stay tuned.

The Romantic Album Era

This whole tour is built around Bruno’s long-awaited fourth solo album, The Romantic, dropping February 27th, 2026. The project’s first single hits tomorrow (January 9th), so consider this your heads up to refresh all your streaming platforms.

The timing couldn’t be more perfect. Bruno’s been on an absolute tear lately with chart-toppers like “Die With A Smile” featuring Lady Gaga , which became the fastest song in Spotify history to reach 1 billion streams , and “APT.” with ROSÉ, which Apple Music crowned the most globally streamed song of 2025. The man literally cannot miss right now.

Ticket Game Plan

Okay, here’s the part everyone’s been scrolling for : how to actually get tickets.

Artist Presale: Wednesday, January 14th at 12 PM local time. To get access, you need to sign up at BrunoMars.com by Monday, January 12th at 10 AM PT. For Ticketmaster events (which includes our Toronto dates), no codes needed : it’s all tied to your Ticketmaster account.

General Onsale: Thursday, January 15th at 12 PM local time at BrunoMars.com.

Pro tip from someone who’s survived Toronto concert ticket wars: have your payment info ready, multiple devices logged in, and maybe light a candle to the concert gods. Rogers Stadium holds about 50,000 people, but this is Bruno Mars we’re talking about.

Why Toronto Makes Sense

Let’s talk about why Bruno securing two Toronto dates isn’t just good business : it’s recognition of what this city brings to the table. Toronto’s music scene has been absolutely electric lately, and international artists are taking notice. From our festival circuit to our venues to the pure energy Toronto crowds bring, we’ve earned our spot on every major tour route.

The Vegas Connection

Speaking of live shows, Bruno’s been keeping those performance muscles sharp with his acclaimed Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM. He’s also been globe-trotting with record-breaking runs through Australia, Asia, the Middle East, and South America. This isn’t an artist getting back into touring shape : this is someone at the absolute peak of their live performance game. Translation: Toronto’s getting Bruno at peak form.

Chart Domination Mode

The numbers don’t lie : Bruno’s having one of those career moments where everything just clicks. “Die With A Smile” topped the Billboard Global 200 Chart for a record-tying 18 weeks. “APT.” ruled the charts for 19 weeks at number one on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. Chart and 12 weeks on the Billboard Global 200.

Both songs earned GRAMMY nominations, with “APT.” taking home “Song of the Year” at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards. Meanwhile, his Silk Sonic collaboration with Anderson .Paak continues to be the R&B standard-bearer, proving that when these two get together, magic happens.

Production Level: Stadium

This tour is being produced by Live Nation, so expect that top-tier production value. We’re talking staging that can fill Rogers Stadium, sound systems that’ll make your chest vibrate, and lighting that’ll probably be visible from the CN Tower. North American dates are sponsored by MGM Resorts International and The Pinky Ring at Bellagio, which gives you a sense of the luxury level we’re dealing with.

Bruno’s 24K Magic World Tour was among the highest-grossing tours in history and landed in the top ten highest-grossing tours of the entire 2010s decade. The bar is already set astronomically high, and The Romantic Tour feels like it’s aimed at clearing it entirely.

Toronto’s Spring Highlight

May in Toronto can be unpredictable weather-wise, but having Bruno Mars lock down two consecutive nights at Rogers Stadium? That’s the kind of spring energy this city deserves. Whether you’re hitting night one, night two, or somehow managing both, this is shaping up to be one of those “where were you when” moments for Toronto’s music scene.

Between the new album, the stadium production, Anderson .Paak’s DJ sets, and Bruno’s current chart dominance, The Romantic Tour isn’t just a concert : it’s an event. And Toronto getting the double-header treatment? That’s the kind of recognition this city’s music fans have earned.

Start setting those reminder alarms now. January 14th for presale, January 15th for general tickets. Toronto, let’s show Bruno why he made the right call giving us two nights.

The romantic era is coming, and Toronto’s ready to fall in love.
