SINGAPORE: American pop star Bruno Mars will stage his biggest show in Singapore at the National Stadium on April 5.
The chart-topping, multi-award-winning artiste previously performed two nights at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in 2018, and played his first show in Singapore at the same venue in 2014.
Ticket pre-sales kick off on Jan 19 while general sales take place on Jan 20. The prices will be released at a later date.
The 38-year-old played his first gig of 2024 in Macau on Jan 6, at the MGM Cotai integrated resort. His concert dates until June include stops in Tokyo, Bangkok, South Korea, the Philippines and Las Vegas.
National Stadium, which has a capacity of 55,000, is also hosting other mega music stars this year, like Coldplay in January, Ed Sheeran in February and Taylor Swift in March. All tickets to these A-list gigs are sold out.
