Bruno Mars concert chronology
Bruno Mars' performance at Al-Adana Amphitheatre, Bahrain.

The Bruno Mars Experience is an ongoing series of concerts by American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars. The concerts began at Allianz Stadium in Sydney, Australia on 14 October 2022 and are scheduled to end at Singapore's National Stadium on 6 April 2024.

Althought not oficially treated as tour, it considerally broke multiple records including becoming the biggest concerts in Japan by an international act in the 21st century.[1] The shows are famous for Mars' interaction with the audience, speaking the language of each country during the shows and playing famous local songs.[2][3]

Impact edit

Mars was the first ever headliner of the Brazilian music festival The Town in São Paulo in September 2023. He headlined both weekends for a total of 200,000 people in attendence - 100,000 each Sunday.[5] On both shows, the band played the Brazilian sertanejo song Evidências to great reaction from the audience. On the second weekend, the duo Chitãozinho e Xororó, performers of Evidências, attended the concert. To thank the public for their reception during his stay in Brazil, Mars posted a video online of him dancing and walking in the streets of São Paulo and the rooftop of Hotel Fasano.[6]

The concert in Tbilisi, Georgia had an attendence of about 70,000 people. A memorable moment of the performance came with a rendition of Tbiliso, a song by the popular late Georgian composer Revaz Lagidze.[7]

The concerts in South Korea were the highest-grossing concerts by an international artist in South Korea history, with $5.572 million each night.

Mars was the first solo performer to sell out two shows at the Philippine Arena in the Philippines.[8]

After performing three nights at the Tokyo Dome in 2022, Mars returned for seven more nights in January 2024, becoming the biggest concerts by an international artist in Japan in the 21st century[1] and the international act with most consecutive dates in the venue since Michael Jackson and the Rolling Stones in the 1990s.[9] To commemorate the concerts, Japanese company Sanrio partnered with Mars for a limited collection of items such as towels, cups, jackets, t-shirts and surfboards of Bruno Mars and Hello Kitty, where they were refered as "queen and king of kawaii".[10] Mars and his band performed Heavy Rotation by Japanese group AKB48. After leaving Japan, Mars posted a video online of him dancing and running around Tokyo with multiple references to Japanese pop culture.[11]
