On Thursday evening, Bruno Mars took the stage as the inaugural performer at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, the newly opened venue and home to the LA Clippers.
The elusive artist is scheduled to perform for two nights, and the first show proved to be unforgettable. He thrilled the audience with a lineup of his biggest hits and welcomed a special guest onstage, much to the delight of fans and stars present.
One of the standout moments was the live debut of his exciting new collaboration with Lady Gaga, titled “Die with a Smile.” The two had teased the track throughout the day, making the moment even more anticipated. Toward the show’s conclusion, Mars surprised attendees with Gaga, thanking her for the collaboration. Their voices harmonized beautifully, with the performance evoking the feeling of a classic hit.
The event attracted numerous celebrities; among them was Meghan Trainor, who shared on the red carpet that her family loves Mars’ “24K Magic.” Inside the suite areas, Halle Bailey, DDG, and their baby were spotted enjoying the performance. A highlight of the night occurred when Jennifer Lopez was seen dancing energetically to Mars’ “Marry You,” truly embracing the moment.
Mars showcased his exceptional talent throughout the concert, performing high-energy choreography alongside his band on tracks like “Finesse,” then smoothly switching to ballads like “Versace on the Floor” without losing any vocal strength. His powerful voice resonated throughout the venue, captivating the audience.
The Intuit Dome, a modern and cashless venue, impressed with its advanced technology. Each floor featured bars and shops that operated efficiently with minimal wait times. The club level offered lounges for guests to socialize and dine before the performance. A notable amenity was the charging ports available at every seat, ensuring no one had to deal with dead phones during the concert.
Fans of Mars created a lively atmosphere and quickly purchased exclusive merchandise commemorating the event. Many attendees came dressed as Bruno Mars, with the most popular look mirroring his 24K Magic album cover.
Bruno Mars is set to perform one final show at the Intuit Dome on Friday night, followed by comedian Sebastian Maniscalco on Saturday, Latin star Marco Antonio Solis on Sunday, and two nights of Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS Tour on Tuesday and Wednesday.
