Recent tour reviews

I spent $256 on a ticket and flew from Florida to Las Vegas to see this fiasco of a show. The show was supposed to start at 9. The curtain finally rose at almost 9:30. The drums and bass were so loud, little of the vocals could be heard. The band was off several times, there was limited choreography, 2 solos (drum and piano, neither of which were Bruno, OBVIOUS TIME FILLERS), and the show lasted one hour and 15 minutes. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!!!! IT SUCKED!! I am used to hearing songs sung at concerts, not stopped mid-way to laugh and joke. Bruno Mars needs to go to some REAL concerts so he can see how to please his PAYING AUDIENCE. Go get some lessons from Pink, Elton John, who ever, Bruno, cause your show is a joke!!

The Bruno Mars concert was amazing! The only fault that I would say is that there was a lot of waiting Dua Lipa was right on time and it felt like when’s Bruno coming?! Then after Dua Lipa we had to wait for them to set Bruno up which felt like forever, but when he was out there it was amazing he had fireworks and amazing dance moves and his singing was just amazing. He even added some comedy in there, and he was putting his absolute all you could see by the sweat on his body. After we thought it was over but he surprised us with an extra song :) it was an experience of a lifetime and I must say for my first concert it was A M A Z I N G ! For the merchandise I feel some of it was just a bit overpriced like the hats.

It was awesome!!!!!

Bebe Rexha was there and Nick Jonas and who we were all waiting for BRUNO MARSSSS!!!

I was soooo happy when Nick Jonas sang one of his songs from Camp Rock!!!!

Bebe Rexha sang Me, Myself, and I, I love that song!!! I just think it wasn’t necessary to say some bad words while she spoke, but thats ok because it’s BEBE REXHA!!!

Bruno Mars was I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E!!!!!

He sang all of my favorite songssss and ne sang UPTOWN FUNK!!!! AWESOME!!!!

Overall, it was the best concert of my life, even though we could have been in better seats, and I even got a souvenir t-shirt!!!!

Bruno Mars' 24K Magic World Tour is currently under way and he is heading for the O2 Arena this April.

The pop superstar will play a total of four shows in London on April 18 and April 19 as well as April 21 to April 22.

Originally the US artist announced two shows at the capital's venue but this was extended to four due to huge demand when they went on sale.

The acclaimed stage performer will bring the biggest hits from his three studio albums to the UK for 14 dates kicking off in April.

The artist recently returned with his third studio album "24K Magic" which featured the platinum selling lead single of the same name.

His latest album saw him move away from the funk-pop of debut "Doo Wops & Hooligans" and its follow-up, instead the record explores a hip-hop soul sound.

However the music is still as energetic as ever and proved successful for Mars who reached the number one spot in the US and became certified gold in the UK within weeks.

In total Bruno Mars has sold 100 million records since 2010 when he first came to prominence in the public eye.

His first two albums are multi-platinum sellers in the UK and he has sold out arenas across the globe including the O2 in 2013 when he last visited the UK for a headline tour.

Are tickets still available?

Currently the best available tickets are VIP packages which are a little higher than standard prices.

They start from around £252.75 on Ticketmaster here , but keep an eye out on @Ticketmaster and @TheO2 on Twitter the week on the day of the gigs.

The arena frequently releases last minute standard seating and standing tickets for fans. They'll be released on Ticketmaster and Eventim .

Who's the support act?

The support act across the European leg of his tour will be Anderson .Paak, who was recently nominated for "Best New Artist" at the Grammys.

The funk and hip-hop artist is commonly joined by his band The Free Nationals, who will perform alongside him at his only UK headline show of 2017 at O2 Forum Kentish Town .

O2 Arena: upcoming shows and tickets

What will the setlist be?

According to setlist.fm this is the setlist Bruno played on the first handful of live dates on his tour in cities including Barcelona and Antwerp.

Although it may not exactly match his four London shows it gives fans a good idea of what they can expect to hear.

• Calling All My Lovelies
• That's What I Like
• Straight Up & Down
• Versace on the Floor
• Runaway Baby
• When I Was Your Man
• Locked Out of Heaven
• Just the Way You Are
• Uptown Funk
• Too Good to Say Goodbye

What merchandise is on sale?

Fans who attended the first night of tour in Belgium tweeted out pictures of the merch stand.

It features 24K Magic sweatshirts and hoodies, as well as printed t-shirts of the album cover, posters, earrings and caps.

The items are also available on his online store so fans can buy the merch ahead of the concert.

Bruno mars to perform first 2 concerts at la’s intuit dome. get tickets.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

The king of “Uptown Funk” is headed downtown.

On Aug. 15-16, Bruno Mars will play the first two concerts at Los Angeles’ Intuit Dome , the future home of the Los Angeles Clippers which is still under construction at the time of publication.

This pair of gigs will be his first in L.A. in 2018.

“We wanted…a performer who was a showperson, someone who would really effectively help us bring the building to life,” Gillian Zucker, the Clippers’ president of business operations, told Variety .

“There’s so many unique things about the building — the halo scoreboard, the interactivity with the crowd, our LED lights that are built into the seats, the various different things that just haven’t existed in other buildings before — and we wanted to make sure that we had a performer who would take advantage of all of those things.”

Other performers scheduled to perform at Intuit before the Clippers’ 2024-25 season takes flight include Twenty One Pilots , Usher , Weezer , Billy Joel and Fuerza Regida .

For fans who can’t wait to see Mars live, tickets can be scooped up for both shows as soon as today.

Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Thursday, April 11, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.

Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

With the Los Angeles area’s still-under-construction Intuit Dome set to start hosting the Clippers in October, a lot of attention has been trained on what kind of reviews the 17,700-capacity arena will get as a sports venue this fall. But music fans will get a big jump on feeling the new facility out, as pop superstar Bruno Mars was announced Friday morning as the attraction for the dome’s grand opening, with back-to-back concerts set for Aug. 15-16.

Tickets for the Mars shows go on sale next Thursday at 10 a.m. PT through Ticketmaster.

“We wanted also a performer who was a showperson, someone who would really effectively help us bring the building to life. And there’s so many unique things about the building — the halo scoreboard, the interactivity with the crowd, our LED lights that are built into the seats, the various different things that just haven’t existed in other buildings before — and we wanted to make sure that we had a performer who would take advantage of all of those things. And I think lastly, we wanted something special — someone who wasn’t necessarily out on tour, doing something that would be iconic and unique and worthy of all of the love and attention and care that’s been put into this building. Another piece of it that really resonated with us was that in the conversations, he immediately took to the idea and was excited about the prospect of being a part of it.”

“I would estimate we’ll end up with 20 to 25 shows just in the couple of months between August 15 and when the Clippers start playing in October. So there’s gonna be a lot of music in the building,” Zucker says. It won’t end when the Clippers start, as musicians will still be able to make use of the arena during the Clippers’ away-game stretches.

Variety took a hardhat tour of the Inglewood site last weekend, and can speak to the fact that there’ll be a lot of depth to Mars’ performance. The Intuit Dome has three floors that extend below ground level, and four above — similar to the nearby SoFi Stadium — due to being in the flight path of LAX, where a cap is put on building heights. A peek from the back row suggests that the arena may live up to the sense of increased “intimacy” that reps have been promising, belying its size. (One tout on the new arena is that the average seat is about 45 feet closer to the stage or court than Crypto.com Arena, which it’ll be in competition with for bookings, thanks to the serious rake of the seats.)

The audio capabilities were designed by the same team that did the re-do of the Forum as a. concert-only facility. But sometimes it’s the little things — as in 18,000 or so tiny points of light — that set a facility apart.

“You know the LED wristbands that a lot of especially pop and EDM performers tend to utilize in their shows? We did something very unique with the building. We had an opportunity very early on to make a decision to run power to every single seat in the building. Then there’s a lot of other things that you can do along with it, other than just having a space to charge your phone, which you can do at every seat. But so long as we had powered the seats, we thought, why don’t we put an LED in the armrest of every single seat? And so it gives all of these musicians the opportunity to be able to build that LED accent into their shows, which we know will create a great experience.”  

Zucker also oversees the practically adjacent Forum, which Steve Ballmer bought when he deigned to bring the Clippers to Inglewood. Are there enough bookings to go around between Intuit Dome, the Forum and Crypto.com downtown?

“Everybody’s touring, so there’s a lot of inventory, and when we did our due diligence actually before we built it,” Zucker says, “we’ve always felt like this market is under-resourced in terms of arena spaces. There’s just a lot of demand for music in Los Angeles.”

Intuit Dome and the Forum would obviously be in fierce competition coming up, if Ballmer didn’t own them both. How will the bookings pan out — will artists prefer the shiny new thing to play with, or the familiarity of the refurbished?

Both? Yes, says Zucker — just as a handful of artists have managed to do shows at both the Forum and Crypto (like Lauryn Hill, recently), she says there are those who want to do both the Forum and Intuit now.

“One of the things that works out well with that is that they could break down a show, drive a mile down the road and just rebuild it, and they’ll be ready to go for their next date. So there’s some efficiencies that come with that as well. … We’re still like at our infancy in the booking piece of it, so we’d have to circle back in six months and I can let you know more. But we’re seeing both — we’re seeing people who are holding different points in their tour schedule in the different buildings, and we’re seeing people who are saying: ‘We’re gonna do four or five shows in market. And we know we’re gonna need an off day for voice rest anyway, so we may as well change it up and do different buildings.’ We’re big on making people happy, so, look, we’ve got two extraordinary buildings, and I think they’ve got two incredible choices. So, whatever works for that particular artist works for us too.”

One advantage Intuit may have over the Forum (or the other competitors in the area) may be some of the creature comforts that have been built in for crews as well as fans. Truck drivers often don’t have a chance to do their laundry easily on the road, for example, so Intuit Dome has built-in laundry facilities for visiting crews backstage – not unlike how, on the basketball side, referees have been given their own locker room. Having six loading bays for visiting tours also means tours can load in and out as much as 30% faster, reps say.

As for the advantages average concertgoers will see when the venue opens, it’s not all about razzle-dazzle LED lights, or even fully no-contact/no-checkout concession stands. One of the biggest amenities is due to shortened seatbakes that go along with that steeper rake in the stands: no knees bumping against the backs of seats for tall people.

Bruno Mars Announced as L.A.'s Intuit Dome Grand Opening Performer

Bruno Mars is helping mark the grand opening of the Intuit Dome.

The singer was announced as the performer for the special grand opening of Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, it was announced Friday.

The Dome is the new home to the Los Angeles Clippers. The performance will mark Bruno Mars' return to Los Angeles after a six-year hiatus. He will perform in two back-to-back opening night shows on Thursday, Aug. 15, and Friday, Aug. 16.

"We are thrilled Bruno Mars will open Intuit Dome," Gillian Zucker, CEO, Halo Sports and Entertainment, said in a statement. "Bruno, who has a strong connection to Inglewood, will undoubtedly deliver an iconic performance that is worthy of this moment and will leave a lasting impression on everyone who attends these two shows."

At Intuit Dome, fans will be able to enjoy an intimate viewing experience with premium seats that hover over the floor, designed to reduce the gap between sections. Intuit Dome also features an 80,000-square-foot outdoor Plaza that houses a 5,000-square-foot retail store and three bars and restaurants. The Plaza's LED screen is recognized as the largest outdoor 4K LED screen in Los Angeles.

The Lexus Courtside Lounge that will be available to those with courtside seats is designed by London-based interior designer Rita Konig, who was also behind the look of the Hollywood-loved private members' club San Vicente Bungalows.

Other performers set to take the stage at the Intuit Dome this year include Billy Joel, Twenty One Pilots and Usher.

Tickets for both Bruno Mars performance dates go on sale Thursday, April 11, at 10 a.m. PT via Ticketmaster.
