Bruno Mars will make his Gillette Stadium concert debut in 2026.

The 16-time Grammy winner will visit the home of the Patriots on Saturday, September 5, and Sunday, September 6, 2026, as part of his Love Tour, Mars’ first international headlining tour in almost a decade.

Mars was initially only going to play one show at Gillette Stadium, but after strong demand for presale tickets, organizers announced a second show on September 6.

Mars’ tour, which kicks off April 10 in Las Vegas, coincides with the arrival of Mars’ fourth solo album, “The Romantic,” which will debut February 27.

After starting his career as a songwriter for stars like Flo Rida and Adam Levine, Mars has become one of the must successful artists of the 21st century. He has been part of nine Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits, starting with “Just the Way You Are” in 2010 and peaking with 2014’s “Uptown Funk,” which spent 14 weeks atop the chart.

Mars’ Gillette Stadium concerts will include his Silk Sonic counterpart Anderson .Paak, who will be appearing on tour as DJ Pee .Wee, his vinyl-spinning alter ego. The show will also include contributions from Raye, a British singer-songwriter who is also playing a solo set at MGM Music Hall in Boston on April 20.

Presale tickets for Bruno Mars’ Gillette Stadium shows will go on sale to verified fans on Wednesday, January 14 at 12 p.m. ET; fans who wish to participate in the presale must register on Mars’ website by Monday, January 10 at 1 p.m. ET. Following the presale, GA tickets will be available through Mars’ website and Ticketmaster starting Thursday, January 15 at 12 p.m.
