Bruno Mars Takes Over Wembley: The Romantic Tour’s Six-Night London Extravaganza

The Wembley Residency

Bruno Mars has descended upon London for what is shaping up to be the most hotly anticipated concert series of the summer. The Romantic Tour touched down at Wembley Stadium this July, and it's already being hailed as a career-defining moment for the multi-platinum superstar. Originally announced as a two-night stand, overwhelming demand forced organizers to double—and then triple—the schedule. Now, Mars will own the iconic venue for six unforgettable nights, a testament to his enduring appeal and the sheer spectacle of The Romantic Tour.

The dates are as follows: Saturday July 18, Sunday July 19, Wednesday July 22, Friday July 24, Saturday July 25, and Tuesday July 28, 2026. With nearly 80,000 fans expected each evening, Wembley has transformed into Bruno’s personal playground.

What Time Does Bruno Go On?

Doors swing open at 5pm sharp for all remaining shows. Based on the opening weekend performances, the man himself is expected to take the stage at around 8:15pm. His set runs approximately two hours, packed with pyrotechnics, choreography, and those impossibly smooth vocal runs. The final bow lands around 10:20pm—more than enough time to make last trains and tube connections.

The Support Acts

Mars is bringing heavy hitters to warm up the crowd. R&B sensation Victoria Monét—fresh off her own Grammy buzz—takes the stage at 7:45pm, serving up sultry harmonies and dance-ready grooves. But the real curveball comes earlier: at 7pm, DJ Pee .Wee (the funk-infused alter ego of Anderson .Paak) spins a set that blurs the lines between classic soul and modern hip-hop. Don’t be surprised when .Paak later emerges during the main show for a Silk Sonic reunion that sends the crowd into a frenzy.

The Setlist

Mars has structured The Romantic Tour into three distinct acts. The first act is a solo marathon of his greatest hits, the second is a Silk Sonic segment with Anderson .Paak, and the final act strips things down for intimate ballads before exploding into an encore. Based on the opening London dates, here’s what you can expect (according to Setlist.fm):

• Risk It All
• Cha Cha Cha
• On My Soul
• 24K Magic
• Treasure
• God Was Showing Off
• I Just Might
• Perm
• Why You Wanna Fight?
• Oh Girl / Let’s Get It On / Please Me
• That’s What I Like
• Something Serious
• Blast Off (Silk Sonic song)
• Silk Sonic Intro
• 777 (with Anderson .Paak)
• Fly as Me (with Anderson .Paak)
• Smokin Out the Window (with Anderson .Paak)
• Leave the Door Open (with Anderson .Paak)
• Marry You
• Die With a Smile
• It Will Rain / Talking to the Moon / Grenade / When I Was Your Man
• Versace on the Floor
• Locked Out of Heaven
• Just the Way You Are
• Uptown Funk
• Dance With Me

The setlist cleverly balances old fireworks with new material from his upcoming album. Fans of the Silk Sonic collaboration will be delighted: the four-song mini-set is a masterclass in throwback R&B.

Getting to Wembley

Wembley Stadium is well-served by public transport. Wembley Park Station (Jubilee and Metropolitan lines) is the most popular entry point. Wembley Central Station (Bakerloo line, London Overground Lioness line, and Southern services) is another option. For a direct rail service, Wembley Stadium Station on the Chiltern Railways line drops you right at the gates.

Bag Policy and Banned Items

The venue enforces a strict A4 bag policy—one bag per person, no exceptions. Merchandise purchased outside must remain sealed until you’re inside. The list of prohibited items is extensive: no bottles, cans, flasks, laser devices, selfie sticks, large umbrellas, laptops, tablets, alcohol, or food. Professional cameras with interchangeable lenses are also banned. Medical exemptions apply for bags.

Weather Forecast

For the next show (Wednesday July 22, 2026), the Met Office predicts a balmy 25°C at 7pm, cooling to 19°C by 11pm. No rain is forecast, so leave the umbrella at home—it's banned anyway.

London Reviews

Critics have been overwhelmingly positive. The Telegraph awarded the show a full five stars, calling it an “outrageously fun set” that “puts his rivals to shame.” Metro gave four stars, with Danni Scott calling Mars “exactly the old school romantic we need right now.” Even the more measured three-star review in The Guardian admitted that “Mars is such a showman that even tossing the mic from one hand to the other feels like a moment.”

With six nights of pure spectacle, Bruno Mars is proving once again why he remains one of the most electrifying live performers on the planet. Whether you’re there for the hits, the Silk Sonic nostalgia, or the sheer star power, The Romantic Tour at Wembley is an event you won’t want to miss.
