A Double Dose of Stardom
The Manila stop marks a special reunion for fans of Silk Sonic, the acclaimed duo formed by Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak.

Audiences can expect live renditions of Silk Sonic's biggest hits, including the Grammy-winning "Leave the Door Open."
The setlist promises a journey through Mars's legendary catalog, from early favorites to recent chart-toppers. Fan-favorites expected to fill the arena include "24K Magic," "Treasure," "Marry You," "Die With A Smile," "Locked Out of Heaven," "Just The Way You Are," and "Uptown Funk." The blend of solo classics and collaborative magic makes this a can't-miss event.
Presale Details and Ticket Information
Eager fans have multiple opportunities to secure their seats before the general public. Artist presale access begins September 11 at 2:00 PM through Bruno Mars's official website, where fans can register ahead of time.

General ticket sales open on September 14 at 12:00 noon through Ticketmaster Philippines. Ticket prices and seat plans have not yet been announced, but demand is expected to be overwhelming.

The Romantic Album Era

Hits from the album, including "I Just Might" and "Risk It All," will likely feature prominently in the setlist.
This musical era showcases Mars's evolution as an artist while staying true to the soul and funk influences that defined his career. Filipino fans have always held a special place for Mars, whose smooth vocals and electrifying showmanship transcend generations. The Philippine Arena stop is poised to be one of the tour's most memorable nights.
A Homecoming for Filipino Roots
Bruno Mars, born Peter Gene Hernandez, has proudly acknowledged his Filipino heritage throughout his career. His visits to the Philippines consistently draw massive crowds and emotional connections with fans who see themselves reflected in his success. The 2027 shows continue that tradition, offering Pinoy fans a chance to celebrate global excellence with local pride.
