Not only does Bruno Mars craft better pop singles than just about anyone in the business, but he also manages to be an electrifying live performer. As his performances on award shows like the Grammys have proven, this guy has got what it takes on stage. Musicianship, showmanship, great songs and a great voice.
In support of his second album Unorthodox Jukebox (which is nearing Platinum status and has already spawned two Top 10 hits,) Bruno is hitting the road. The tour begins in DC on June 22nd and the U.S. dates run through the end of the summer. After those dates are over, Bruno will head abroad and rock Europe till November. His support acts will be British thrush Ellie Goulding and retro-soul favorites Fitz + The Tantrums, who are getting ready to release their sophomore albums.
Oh, and Bruno? Leave the cocaina at home, doggie.
