Bruno Mars has been announced as the first-ever performer for the IntuitDome, a new Los Angeles arena that will serve as the home of the Clippers.
In a press release, it was revealed that the Silk Sonic crooner will break his six-year performing hiatus in L.A. to appear at the Intuit Dome, located in Inglewood, CA, this summer.
The back-to-back dates are August 15th and August 16th, and tickets will go on sale on April 11.
“We are thrilled Bruno Mars will open Intuit Dome,” said Gillian Zucker, CEO, Halo Sports and Entertainment, in a statement. “Bruno, who has a strong connection to Inglewood, will undoubtedly deliver an iconic performance that is worthy of this moment, and will leave a lasting impression on everyone who attends these two shows.”
Mars said in a video tied to the shows: “I moved to Inglewood, California when I was eighteen years old, in hopes one day I could write a song. A song that would allow me to perform all over the world. Opening up this arena is a full-circle moment, and I can’t wait to celebrate.”
Back in February, the “Uptown Funk” singer celebrated the grand opening of his Las Vegas lounge The Pinky Ring with a star-studded party during Super Bowl weekend.
Going down on February 10, just two days ahead of the spot’s official opening to the public, Bruno partied with the likes of Janelle Monáe, Lady Gaga, Victoria Monét, Babyface, T-Pain, Karrueche Tran, Lucky Daye and more at the venue located inside Bellagio Resort & Casino.
