Popstar Bruno Mars is coming back to Toronto as part of his first full headline tour in nearly a decade.

Live Nation announced Thursday that the “That’s What I Like” crooner will play Rogers Stadium on May 23 and 24 with support from Anderson .Paak, as his alter-ego DJ Pee .Wee, and Leon Thomas.

Mars, real name Peter Gene Hernandez, last played Toronto at the then Air Canada Centre for two sold-out dates in 2018 on his “24K Magic World Tour.”

The Grammy-award winning artist will start his nearly 40-show run in Las Vegas on April 10, then head overseas for dates in Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Madrid, Milan, and London, before returning to North America.

Mars’ fourth studio album, “The Romantic,” drops on Feb. 27.

Presale tickets are available starting Jan. 14. The general ticket sale begins on Jan. 15 at 12 p.m.
