Bruno Mars, Janelle Monae Announce Tour Dates

110216-monae-mars.png

One of the highlights of this past Sunday’s Grammy Awards ceremony was, without a doubt, the joint performance from smooth Hawaii-bred crooner Bruno Mars and Georgia space-funk cadet Janelle Monae, who wowed with not just their songs — but their stage presence. And this spring the duo are teaming up and hitting the road, bringing their flair to a stage near you. See the complete dates below.

The trek — dubbed “Hooligans in Wondaland” after Bruno’s new album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, and Monae’s Atlanta crew, the Wondaland Arts Society, and a song from her superb album, The ArchAndroid — will kick off May 4 in New York City and hit all four corners of the U.S., from Seattle to Florida, Boston to Los Angeles, and in between before closing out in Phoenix on June 15.

Like-minded artists Plan B and Mayer Hawthorne & the Country will come along on select dates to open the show (their dates noted below). Pre-sales for fans will begin tomorrow (Feb. 17) via both Brunomars.com and Jmonae.com; general ticket sales begin on February 26.
