Bruno Mars is about to embark on the biggest tour of his career. The Grammy-winning crooner has announced dates for “The Moonshine Jungle World Tour,” invading North America and Europe starting this summer.
The North American leg gets underway on June 22 at Washington, D.C.’s Verizon Center and continues through August, playing arenas including Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, Chicago’s United Center, L.A.’s Staples Center, and Atlanta’s Philips Arena. Ellie Goulding and Fitz and The Tantrums will open for him on select dates.
After the North American trek wraps on September 1, he will head overseas on the European leg, which kicks off October 2 in Belfast, Ireland, traveling to France, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Spain.
The tour comes on the heels of Bruno’s chart-topping sophomore album Unorthodox Jukebox featuring the hits “Locked Out of “Heaven” and “When I Was Your Man,” which has become his 10th consecutive top 10 single on the Billboard Hot 100.
The singer last toured in 2010-2012 on “The Doo-Wops & Hooligans Tour” with special guest Janelle Monáe, who accompanied him on the U.S. leg.
Tickets for select North American dates and all European dates go on sale March 1. See an itinerary and watch the tour promo below.
