Bruno Mars is returning to Japan for a 12-show dome tour

From creating a special song for Don Quijote to playing seven sold-out shows at Tokyo Dome in 2024, it’s no secret that Bruno Mars is hugely popular in Japan. If you still haven’t had your fill of the Grammy Award-winning artist, you’re in luck: Mars is set to return to Japan with a 12-show dome tour starting early next year.

The Romantic Tour will span six cities across Japan, starting in Nagoya with two shows on January 4 and 5, before heading to Sapporo on January 10 and 11, Saitama on January 15 and 16, Osaka on January 19 and 20, Fukuoka on January 23 and 24, and ending in Tokyo on January 27 and 28.

Given that Mars sold out all seven of his Tokyo Dome shows in 2024, competition for tickets is likely to be fierce. The ticket lottery for Live Nation and HIP Platinum members opens at 12pm on June 24 and runs until 11.59pm on June 28. The first official lottery pre-sale will then take place from 12pm on June 29 until 11.59pm on July 11.

Currently, Mars is in the midst of the European leg of his tour, with shows lined up in Berlin, Amsterdam, Madrid, Milan and London this summer. For more information on his Japan tour, visit the official website.
