The Bruno Mars 24k Magic World Tour presented by Live Nation has set a new record for the highest audience attendance at

“It was a thrill to watch Bruno and his band practice their own particular brand of magic for New Zealand fans for four
stunning nights”, said Michael Coppel, Chairman of Live Nation Australia.
“Congratulations to Bruno for setting a new attendance record at Spark Arena in Auckland for The Bruno Mars 24k Magic
World Tour. We thank you for the four incredible shows you played here, and for giving your New Zealanders, who
travelled from all over the country, an unforgettable experience that has now officially gone down in history,” said

phenomenal stage presence and vocal prowess. The critics raved:
