Bruno Mars

Bruno Mars makes his Gillette Stadium debut with The Romantic Tour, marking his first full headlining tour in nearly a decade. That alone makes the September 5 show worth a look, but the bill has plenty to recommend it too: Anderson .Paak, performing as DJ Pee .Wee, and RAYE join him for the night. Mars is touring behind The Romantic, his first solo album in years, so this should feel more like the start of a new chapter than a routine run through the old favorites. The 7pm start gives the evening a proper stadium scale, with parking opening at 3pm and gates at 5pm. For Boston-area fans who have never seen Mars headline a full stadium show, this is a rare chance to catch him at the beginning of his first major solo tour in almost a decade.
