London, en.SERU.co.id — Global superstar Bruno Mars has kicked off his six-night Wembley Stadium run, delivering two unforgettable sold-out performances on July 18 and 19 that left fans buzzing.
Marking his return to UK stages after eight years, the 24K Magic singer brought his The Romantic Tour to London with all the showmanship, smooth vocals, and high-energy choreography that have defined his career. The multi-generational crowd of around 75,000 per night sang along to a seamless blend of fresh tracks from his latest album and timeless hits.
Dressed in custom suits against a romantic red-and-rose backdrop with sparkling effects, Mars connected deeply with the audience. He embraced local flair by sporting an England football scarf, a Union Jack bucket hat, and even clutching a Paddington Bear toy, a charming touch that drew cheers.
Critics Praise Mars’ Charisma and Stage Presence
Reviewers were impressed by the balance of intimacy and spectacle. The Guardian described the show as “half seedy club, half church service,” noting that Mars “sings every line like it’s his big solo” and relies more on raw talent and presence than over-the-top pyrotechnics.
“Mars is feeling amorous and the Saturday night crowd is very happy to be romanced,” the review highlighted.
BBC News captured the joyful atmosphere, stating that Bruno appeared “determined to lift the nation’s mood” during a polished, hit-filled set lasting roughly two hours and 15 minutes.
Rolling Stone UK celebrated his “old school glamour,” calling him a true classic showman who brought effortless style to the iconic London venue.
