Ahead of the tour’s first show in Las Vegas on April 10, 2026, Vegas hosted a Bruno Mars x Hello Kitty pop-up, which was such a massive success that they’re bringing it to other cities along the tour. 

The pop-up features exclusive merchandise, Hello Kitty appearances and themed café offerings.

Toronto is the only scheduled pop-up in Canada, happening at Yorkdale Mall from May 23 to 30 (the same dates as his five Toronto shows at Rogers Stadium). Bruno Mars is playing five shows in Vancouver from Oct. 16 to 21, so keep your eyes peeled for any future pop-up location announcements. 

What to know about ‘The Romantic Tour’

The tour followed the release of Bruno Mars’ fourth solo album, The Romantic, his first solo album since 2016, and features hits like Risk It All and I Just Might.
