Capital Gains: Bruno Mars To Bring His Magic To Hyde Park

BRUNO MARS will be the main attraction of Barclaycard Festival British Summer Time Hyde Park.

The Brit and Grammy Award winner will be released on July 14, fresh out of his '24K Magic World Tour ', which covers more than 172 shows across five continents in support of his 24K Magic Double Platinum album.


The British part of the tour included four critically acclaimed shows at the O2 Arena in London. Now, Mars is ready to return to the UK, taking the Great Oak Stage to Hyde Park with a dazzling visual output and a successful hit list.

Mars will join a special guest, Khalid. With only 19 years, he won the 2017 MTV VMA Award for Best New Artist, and broke the Internet with the first single 'Location'. The emerging star recently supported Lorde across Europe with her "Melodrama" tour and announced her first tour of the UK in 2018.

Since his appearance at the Super Bowl, Mars has been unstoppable. Its 2015 mega hit "Uptown Funk" led the UK charts for six straight weeks, winning two Grammy Awards, including the record of the year.

Last week, it's still the fifth most-watched video of all time on YouTube, with more than 3.1 billion visits to its name.

Their third studio album, the 24K Magic Double Platinum, gave rise to a brand new tube catalog, with the title of '24k Magic' and 'That's What I Like' certified four times platinum.

The Mars shows are known for their bright lights and a star with stellar skills and dexterity, which exudes charm and charisma, all the ingredients needed for a spectacular show.

When combined with his hit list across the entire genre of Mars, his title location in British Summer Time will become one of the most important shows of the year.

James King, Senior Vice President of AEG said, "Bruno Mars is without a doubt one of the best performers of his generation live and we are incredibly happy to bring his magic to the production of Hyde Park."

Daniel Mathieson, Director of Experiential Marketing and Barclaycard Partnerships, said: "I am pleased to welcome Grammy Award winner Bruno Mars presents Barclaycard British Summer Time Hyde Park 2018".

"As one of the best-selling artists of all time and an incredible live performer, we hope to see him entertain a large crowd on what will surely be a memorable night."
