Bruno Mars has arrived in London for a six-night residency at Wembley Stadium, part of his The Romantic Tour. The first shows earned rave reviews, with the Telegraph awarding five stars and calling it an 'outrageously fun set'. The tour marks Mars' only UK dates, supported by Victoria Monét and Anderson .Paak as DJ Pee .Wee.

The residency runs on the following dates: Saturday July 18, Sunday July 19, Wednesday July 22, Friday July 24, Saturday July 25, and Tuesday July 28, 2026. Initially only two shows were scheduled, but unprecedented demand led to four additional dates.
Stage Times and Support Acts
Doors open at 5pm for all shows. Based on earlier performances, Bruno Mars' main set starts around 8.15pm and lasts approximately two hours, finishing by 10.20pm. Support acts include DJ Pee .Wee (Anderson .Paak's alter ego) at 7pm and Victoria Monét at 7.45pm.
