I’ve said it since I saw him in Chicago 2 years ago, Bruno Mars is someone you HAVE to see in concert before you die. He is an all around musician and super talented on stage. Even if you aren’t a huge fan, he will make you one when you leave the venue!

Following his energetic performance at the GRAMMYs, Bruno Mars  announced that U.S. fans will be seeing much more of him this summer. Then today on Ellen he released dates in nearly 40 cities in North America this summer. Dubbed The Moonshine Jungle World Tour, Mars kicks things off on June 22 in Washington, D.C. with Ellie Goulding and Fitz And the Tantrums before he heads to Europe.

Charlotte was named among the major cities to be blessed with a Bruno Mars show on Aug. 21st and of course Kiss 95.1 will get you tickets! Tickets to most shows, including all European dates, go on sale on Mar. 1.
