Bruno Mars has arrived in London. The first shows of a six-night residency took place last weekend – and, based on the reviews, The Romantic Tour delivered massive hits and an impressively slick headline performance.
This summer Wembley Stadium has hosted huge shows from Harry Styles and My Chemical Romance, and Mars is putting on an equally huge show. Bruno’s headline set has lasted just over two hours.
The ‘Uptown Funk’ and ‘Just the Way You Are’ singer’s The Romantic Tour has made its way around the USA and Europe – and now it’s London’s turn. The six shows at Wembley are Mars’ only UK dates on the tour, and he’s supported on all shows by Victoria Monét and his Silk Sonic collaborator Anderson .Paak. Initially the capital was only supposed to get two Bruno Mars dates, but unprecedented demand saw four more dates added.
Are you going to see Bruno Mars at Wembley? Or are you hoping to get last-minute tickets? From the timings to the setlist to remaining ticket availability and the Soho merch pop-up, here’s Time Out’s ultimate guide to The Romantic Tour in London.

Bruno Mars London reviews
The Romantic Tour’s London residency has received several rave reviews, notably earning a full five stars from the Telegraph. Tom Williams said that it was an ‘outrageously fun set’ that ‘[put] his rivals to shame’.
