Bruno Mars — The Romantic Tour at SoFi Stadium

There are shows you attend and there are shows some part of you refuses to die without having attended. This is the second kind, and everyone who has been to one tells you so in the same slightly embarrassed voice. If you have somehow never seen Bruno Mars perform, understand that he is widely considered the best live performer of his generation, and that the case rests entirely on things a recording cannot carry: the band, the choreography, the joy coming off the stage in visible waves. The Romantic Tour brings that to SoFi around a new album, at stadium scale, on one of the largest stages in Los Angeles. Uptown Funk. 24K Magic. Leave the Door Open. More than a decade of songs that have quietly soundtracked weddings, road trips, and most people's best nights out. Take the train and skip the lot entirely. Then take whoever you would want standing beside you when the whole stadium sings the chorus back.
