The Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium will host The Romantic Tour on 10 and 11 July 2026, the latest world tour by the renowned singer, Bruno Mars. This tour marks the musician's return to the stage to present his fourth studio album, The Romantic (2026).
The American artist has not toured the world to present his music since 2017, when Bruno Mars was a worldwide hit with the 24K Magic World Tour, which also featured a concert in this Madrid stadium in June 2018.
Bruno Mars is one of the best-selling male solo artists of all time. His first album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, was released in 2010, winning over audiences with songs like Grenade, The Lazy Song and Just the Way You Are. With his second album, Unorthodox Jukebox (2012), he continued to top the charts thanks to songs like Locked Out of Heaven, Treasure and When I Was Your Man. At the end of 2014, he released the single Uptown Funk in conjunction with the British producer, Mark Ronson, which won a Grammy for Best Pop Collaboration. Two years later, he released his third album, 24K Magic (2016), which revolutionised the music scene with hits like That's What I Like, 24K Magic or Versace on the Floor.
In 2021, Mars put his solo career on hold to join up with the American rapper, Anderson .Paak and release an album under the name of the Silk Sonic band. The album, An Evening with Silk Sonic included the single Leave the Door Open, winner of a Grammy for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. In 2024, Bruno Mars collaborated with Lady Gaga on Die with a Smile, which won a Grammy for the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, as well as a nomination for Song of the Year, rounding off a year of successful collaborations, as reflected in the song APT, a duet with New Zealand-South Korean singer Rosé.
Now, the musician is back with a new world tour to present his fourth studio album, The Romantic, his first solo album in ten years to be released at the end of February 2026, featuring the lead single, I Just Might. Winner of several Grammy Awards, the artist will perform around 40 concerts across Europe and North America on The Romantic Tour, in what is set to be one of the biggest tours of the year. In Madrid, he will also be accompanied by Anderson .Paak, the artist and collaborator on their joint Silk Sonic musical project, as well as DJ Pee.Wee and the singer Victoria Monét.
