Read our Privacy notice Bruno Mars, the king of inescapable soul-pop hits,has announced that he will release his long-awaited fourth album, marking his first solo release in a decade, and embark on a massive world tour. Titled The Romantic, the album is scheduled for release on 27 February and is preceded by the single “I Just Might”, which is out now. Despite not releasing a solo record since 2016’s 24K Magic, the singer – born Peter Gene Hernandez – has continued to achieve regular chart success over the years. He won four Grammy awards in 2022 for the single “Leave the Door Open”, a collaboration with rapper and singer Anderson .Paak under the name Silk Sonic. He is also up for three awards – Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance – at this year’s Grammys with “APT”, a pop song with ROSÉ that was recently named the most globally streamed song of 2025 by Apple Music. His career launched back in 2010 with mega-hit “Just the Way You Are”, a sentimental ballad from his first solo album, Doo-Wops & Holligans, which topped the charts in the UK and the US. Meanwhile, The Romantic Tour will kick off in support of the new album from 10 April in Las Vegas, travelling across North America before landing in Paris, France, and further dates around Europe. Mars will play two shows at Wembley Stadium in London – the only UK dates announced so far – on 18 and 19 July before heading back to the US and Canada. He will be supported on all dates by special guest .Paak as “DJ Pee.Wee”, with Leon Thomas, British pop singer RAYE and Victoria Monét supporting at select shows.
