American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars is set to perform at the launching of the brand new Allianz Stadium in Moore Park with two concerts slated in October 2022.
The Grammy Award-winner is coming back to Australia after four years to do a couple of shows at the Allianz Stadium to mark the opening of the newly rebuilt stadium.
The old 45,500-seater Sydney Football Stadium was demolished three years ago to undergo redevelopment at a cost of AU$874 million. The new stadium, named Allianz Stadium, has a reduced capacity of 42,500 with three levels of seating on either side and two levels at the ends.
The last time Mars performed for the Australian audience was in 2018 during his 24K Magic World Tour. The two concerts will be staged on 14-15 October 2022.
Justine Bieber and Elton John will also be performing at the Allianz Stadium in November 2022 and January 2023, respectively.
Born Peter Gene Hernandez, Bruno Mars rose to fame in 2010 via the Billboard no.1 single “Nothin’ on You” with B.o.B. His debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans spawned U.S. chart-toppers “Just the Way You Are” and “Grenade”.
In 2021, Mars partnered with American rapper Anderson.Paak to form Silk Sonic and released their debut album as a duo, An Evening with Silk Sonic. The album features the singles “Leave The Door Open”, “Skate” and “Silk Sonic Intro”.
To date, the 15-time Grammy winner is estimated to have sold more than 26 million albums and 200 million singles worldwide, putting him in the company of the best-selling artists of all time.
Bruno Mars Live in Sydney happens on Friday 14 and Saturday 15 October 2022 at the Allianz Stadium.
