Bruno Mars Setlist 2026: Every Song on The Romantic Tour

Quick Answer

Bruno Mars plays roughly 25 songs on The Romantic Tour, running about 90 minutes and covering new material from The Romantic, a five-song medley of soul classics, and a hits-heavy closing run that includes “Uptown Funk,” “Locked Out of Heaven,” and “Just the Way You Are.”

The setlist can shift slightly by city, but the overall structure - new-album opener, medley in the middle, greatest-hits closer - has held for the tour so far. You can compare live ticket listings on the Bruno Mars tickets hub page.

Bruno Mars is back on the road with The Romantic Tour, his first full headlining stadium run in nearly a decade, and fans heading to a show want to know exactly what they're going to hear. This guide breaks the setlist down song by song, section by section, so you know what to expect from the moment the lights go down to the final encore.

This guide pairs well with our how long is a Bruno Mars concert guide, which covers set length, doors, and start times in more depth.

1. The Romantic Tour: Quick Overview

Before getting into the song-by-song breakdown, here's the context that shapes the setlist itself:

• The tour supports Bruno Mars's fourth studio album, The Romantic, released February 27, 2026.

• It's his first all-stadium headlining tour across North America and Europe, and his first tour since Bruno Mars Live wrapped in 2024.

• Opening acts rotate by leg and include DJ Pee.Wee (Anderson .Paak), Leon Thomas, Victoria Monét, and Raye.

• The tour began April 10, 2026, in Las Vegas and runs through early 2027, covering North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.

Because this is a new-album-driven tour rather than a pure greatest-hits run, the setlist leans harder on recent material early in the show than past Bruno Mars tours did - more on how that compares further down.

Show length: roughly 25 songs across the main set, landing around 90 minutes of music once you factor in the medley, transitions, and stage banter.

3. How the Show Opens: The New Album Takes Center Stage

Unlike tours that lean almost entirely on old hits from the first note, this show opens with a real commitment to The Romantic. A few things stand out about the opening run:

• Five of the first seven songs come straight from the new record, including lead single “I Just Might” and the slow-building “God Was Showing Off.”

• “Risk It All” opens the show - a higher-energy choice than a ballad opener, designed to get the stadium standing immediately.

• “24K Magic” and “Treasure” are the only older hits in the first nine songs, working as a bridge between new and familiar material rather than a hard pivot.

The takeaway for fans: don't expect the show to open with a wall of familiar hits. Bruno is clearly betting that the new songs can hold a stadium crowd on their own before the set turns toward nostalgia.

4. The Low Rider Medley: The Show's Wildcard Section

Buried in the middle of the set is a five-song medley that pulls from classic soul and R&B - “Oh Girl,” “I Miss You,” “You Are Everything,” and “I Want to Be Your Man” - before snapping back into his own “That's What I Like.” A few notes on this stretch of the show:

• It's the most improvisational part of the night — previous Bruno Mars tours have shown these medleys can run longer or shorter depending on crowd energy.

• It showcases the backing band (The Hooligans) more than any other section, often with extended instrumental breaks.

• It's the section most likely to be extended, trimmed, or slightly reordered from city to city, based on patterns from past tours.

If you're a completionist about hearing a specific song, the medley is the part of the setlist to watch for changes as the tour continues.

5. The Closing Run: Hits, Back to Back

Once the medley wraps, the back half of the show is relentless. “Leave the Door Open,” “Marry You,” “Die with a Smile,” “When I Was Your Man,” “Locked Out of Heaven,” “Just the Way You Are,” and “Uptown Funk” run almost back to back with little pause between them.

• This stretch is where the show peaks in energy — if you're only there for the hits, this is the section to prioritize.

• “Die with a Smile,” his duet with Lady Gaga, is performed solo on this tour, without a guest appearance, at least so far.

• “Dance With Me” closes the main set, functioning as a natural, high-energy sendoff rather than a slow ballad ending.

Because this run is so dense with recognizable songs, it's worth being close to the stage (or at least fully present, phone down) by this point in the night rather than heading for the exits early to beat traffic.

6. Will the Setlist Change by City?

Almost certainly, at least a little. On stadium tours of this size, artists typically:

• Swap one to three songs for local flavor or to keep the set fresh across a long run of dates.

• Adjust the length or content of medley sections depending on the night.

• Add extra songs, guest appearances, or a longer outro for hometown shows, festival-adjacent dates, or milestone stops.

The core structure - new-album opener, medley in the middle, hits-heavy closer - is likely to hold for most of the tour. But if a specific song matters to you, it's worth checking recent setlists from shows just before the one you're attending, since those tend to be the best predictor of what you'll actually hear.

7. How This Compares to Past Bruno Mars Tours

Fans who saw Bruno Mars Live (2022–2024) or earlier tours will notice a few differences in this show:

• The Romantic Tour leans more heavily on new material early in the set than previous tours, which tended to front-load recognizable hits.

• The overall runtime is similar - around 90 minutes - but the ratio of new songs to catalog hits is higher than it's been on any Bruno Mars tour since his early career.

• Silk Sonic material (with Anderson .Paak) has not appeared in the opening-night setlist, despite Anderson .Paak performing as an opener under the DJ Pee.Wee alias - worth watching for a possible surprise guest appearance on select dates.

In short: if you're coming expecting a pure nostalgia set, be prepared for a show that asks you to sit with the new album for a while before it turns into the hits parade you might be picturing.

8. Tips for Getting the Most Out of the Show

Listen to The Romantic before the show. Since the first half leans on new material, knowing the songs going in makes the opening stretch land much better live.
Don't leave early. The heaviest run of hits comes in the back third of the set, not the front - leaving before “Uptown Funk” or “Dance With Me” means missing the peak of the night.
Check recent setlists close to your show date. Medley content and any surprise songs are the most likely things to change city to city.
Plan for about 90 minutes of music, plus opener sets. Combined with openers like Raye or Victoria Monét, total time in the building is usually closer to 3 hours - factor that into parking and dinner plans.
