Bruno Mars is coming back to the Philippines next year, and he is bringing his Silk Sonic partner Anderson .Paak along for the ride.
Two nights at the Philippine Arena
Concert promoter Live Nation Philippines confirmed that Manila is among the newly added stops on Mars’ ongoing The Romantic Tour, which supports his fourth album of the same name.

What to expect on The Romantic Tour
Expect a setlist that leans on hits from The Romantic and across his catalog, including the singles I Just Might, Risk It All, On My Soul, Cha Cha Cha, and God Was Showing Off. The 16-time Grammy winner has also been dusting off Silk Sonic favorites like Leave the Door Open, as well as classics including 24K Magic, Treasure, Marry You, Die With A Smile, and Uptown Funk.
The Manila stop sits near the end of the tour’s run, which wraps with three nights in Seoul, South Korea.
Bruno’s long-running love affair with Manila
This will not be Bruno’s first time in the country. His 2023 Philippine Arena shows were a highlight for local Hooligans, and he has built a devoted following here over the years.
