Bruno Mars opened The Romantic Tour’s stand at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on September 30, the first of five nights at the stadium. The run continues Friday, October 2, and Saturday, October 3, and closes October 6 and 7. Friday’s show starts at 7 p.m.

SoFi’s original Inglewood run grew to four dates on demand, October 2, 3, 6 and 7, and all four sold out. In March the stadium added September 30 as the fifth and final date. Anderson .Paak is on the bill performing as DJ Pee .Wee, and RAYE was announced as an opener for the original four nights. Mars and .Paak released An Evening With Silk Sonic together in 2021.

The Romantic Tour is Mars’ first full headline tour in nearly a decade, following the 24K Magic World Tour that launched in 2017, and his first full headlining stadium tour. It set a Ticketmaster record with 2.1 million tickets sold in a single day, and it grew from fewer than 40 announced dates to nearly 80 across North America, Europe and the U.K. The tour launched April 10 in Las Vegas.

The album behind it, The Romantic, is his fourth solo record and arrived February 27 via Atlantic Records. Its lead single, the disco-inspired “I Just Might,” became his first No. 1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100. When he announced in January that the record was finished, Mars kept it short. “My album is done,” he wrote on X, as Revolt reported.

Tickets for the run were sold through BrunoMars.com and Ticketmaster. The stadium billed September 30 as the final added date, so the October 7 show will close the Inglewood stand.
