R&B star Bruno Mars will headline his biggest local show to date when he plays U.S. Bank Stadium on May 13.
Tickets go on sale at noon Jan. 15 through Ticketmaster.
Mars, 40, made his local concert debut at St. Paul’s Roy Wilkins Auditorium in May 2011 after his hits “Just the Way You Are,” “Grenade,” “The Lazy Song” and “Marry You” made him one of the new decade’s most promising young stars.
While touring his second album, “Unorthodox Jukebox,” Mars sold out the former Xcel Energy Center twice. He filled the St. Paul hockey arena three more times after he released his third record, 2016’s “24K Magic.”
In the years since, Mars has focused on collaborations and guested on singles from Gucci Mane and Kodak Black, Ed Sheeran and Chris Stapleton, Rose, Sexyy Red and Cardi B. In 2021, Mars paired with Anderson Paak and released the album “An Evening with Silk Sonic,” which spawned the hits “Leave the Door Open,” “Skate” and “Smokin’ Out the Window.” Paak will open for Mars at USBS under his DJ Pee.Wee guise.

Last year, he issued a duet with Lady Gaga, “Die with a Smile,” which won a Grammy and became a worldwide smash.
Monday, Mars confirmed a Feb. 27 release date for his long-awaited fourth album, “The Romantic.” The first single is due out Friday.
Mars’ many other hits include “Locked Out of Heaven,” “When I Was Your Man,” “Treasure,” “24K Magic,” “That’s What I Like” and “Uptown Funk,” his collaboration with super producer Mark Ronson.
Mars has won 16 Grammys, 14 American Music Awards, four Brit Awards and 14 Soul Train Awards.
