Bruno Mars has big plans to ring in 2026. The “Die With a Smile” singer added a pair of New Year’s shows to his long-running Las Vegas residency at the Dolby Live at Park MGM on Dec. 30 and 31, further extending his nearly decade-long run in Sin City. Earlier this year, Mars tacked on nine more shows in August and September.

Pre-sales for the shows at the 5,200-capacity venue kick off on Wednesday (Aug. 27) at 10 a.m. PT, followed by a Live Nation pre-sale on Thursday (Aug. 28) at 10 a.m. PT (access code RHYTHM) and a general public on-sale on Friday (Aug. 29) at 10 a.m. PT; click here for more ticketing information.

Earlier this week, Mars celebrated his 100th show at the Dolby Live — not including the 34 he headlined as part of his Silk Sonic duo act with Anderson. Paak — as part of the residency he kicked off on New Year’s eve weekend in 2016.

Mars has not released a new album of solo material since 2016’s 24K Magic, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart and spawned the Billboard Hot 100 hit “What’s What I Like.” The singer is a close second to his “Die With a Smile” duet partner Lady Gaga when it comes to nominations for the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, where Mother Monster leads all nominees with 12 nods, followed by Mars at 11. Mars has two nominations for video of the year, for both “Die With a Smile” and “APT.,” his collaboration with BLACKPINK’S ROSÉ; Mars is just the fourth artist to land two video of the years bids in the same year, joining David Lee Roth (1985), U2 (1988) and Gaga (2010).

This year’s VMAs will air live coast-to-coast on Sept. 7 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS, with a simulcast on their original home, MTV, as well as streaming on Paramount+ in the U.S.
