The pop superstar has expanded his Australian and New Zealand run to 10 stadium dates, with Tyla and Anderson .Paak joining him across the tour.

Bruno Mars has added second shows in Brisbane and Auckland and a third Melbourne date to his 2027 The Romantic Tour following strong demand during the artist presale.

The newly announced concerts will take place at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on Feb. 23, Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on March 1 and Auckland’s Eden Park on March 14, expanding the Australian and New Zealand leg to 10 stadium shows.

Mars will be joined across all dates by two-time Grammy winner Tyla, while his Silk Sonic collaborator Anderson .Paak will perform as DJ Pee .Wee. The shows will also feature a special performance by Silk Sonic.

The tour begins at Perth’s Optus Stadium on Feb. 13 before heading to Melbourne for three shows at Marvel Stadium on Feb. 19, 20 and 23.

Brisbane follows with concerts at Suncorp Stadium on Feb. 28 and March 1, before Mars plays Sydney’s Accor Stadium on March 4 and 5. The Australasian leg concludes with two shows at Auckland’s Eden Park on March 13 and 14.

The additional dates follow major international demand for The Romantic Tour. According to promoter Live Nation, the initial North American, European and U.K. onsale generated the biggest single day of ticket sales in the company’s history, while 2.1 million tickets were sold through Ticketmaster in one day.

The tour supports Mars’ fourth solo album, The Romantic, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — his first album to enter the U.S. chart in the top spot and his second No. 1 album overall following Unorthodox Jukebox.

The album includes “I Just Might” and “Risk It All,” continuing a run that has seen Mars remain one of pop’s biggest global draws more than 15 years after his breakthrough.

The 16-time Grammy winner has spent recent years playing increasingly large international shows. In 2024, he became the first international artist this century to play seven consecutive sold-out concerts at the Tokyo Dome and later staged 14 sold-out stadium shows across five Brazilian cities.

Mars also has a strong recent history in Australia, including opening Sydney’s Allianz Stadium with two shows in 2022 before returning to Melbourne in 2024 for the inaugural concerts at The Star’s Festival Hall.

General tickets for the Australian and New Zealand dates go on sale Friday, Sept. 4, with the Auckland onsale beginning at 11 a.m. local time, followed by Sydney at noon, Brisbane at 1 p.m. and Melbourne and Perth at 2 p.m.
