Bruno Mars is bringing his six-night residency to Wembley Stadium this July, and if you're lucky enough to be going, here's everything you need to know before concert day.


After seeing Bruno Mars in Berlin just a few weeks ago and visiting Wembley Stadium multiple times over the years, I've put together my top tips to help make your Wembley experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.


This guide covers everything from the best station to use and when to arrive, to bag policy, merchandise, and what to expect during the show.

Quick Navigation - Bruno Mars Wembley 2026



Getting to and from Wembley Stadium


Wembley Stadium is one of the easiest venues in London to reach by public transport, with three nearby stations:


  • Wembley Park Station – The main station. It also offers one of the best photo opportunities, with a fantastic view of Wembley Stadium along Olympic Way.

  • Wembley Stadium Station

  • Wembley Central Station

After the Show


Expect large crowds when leaving the stadium, especially if you're heading to Wembley Park Station. While the crowds can look intimidating, Wembley staff are very experienced at managing the flow of people and everything is usually very well organised.


I've also seen fans recommend alternative routes online, such as using different entrances to Wembley Park. However, keep in mind that some entrances may be closed after events for crowd-control purposes.


One thing I would strongly recommend is using public transport rather than booking an Uber. After a concert of this size, thousands of people are trying to leave the area at the same time, which means long waits for drivers, surge pricing, and heavy traffic around the stadium.


My best advice? Be patient, allow extra travel time, and enjoy the post-show atmosphere alongside fellow fans - it's all part of the Wembley experience.


📍 I have a dedicated Wembley Stadium Guide with detailed information about bag policies, security checks, food options, and everything else you need to know before your visit.


Travelling from Outside London


If you're travelling from elsewhere in the UK, National Express operates dedicated event coach services to Wembley Stadium from many locations around the country. It can be a convenient alternative if you'd rather avoid train changes or late-night rail travel.


You can find routes and availability on the National Express website.


Which Entrance Do I Use at Wembley Stadium


Wembley Stadium is mainly divided into four colour-coded zones: Yellow, Green, Blue, and Red. Your ticket will show your designated zone and may also include a specific turnstile number. Directional signs are clearly marked throughout the area, and there are plenty of staff members available to help if needed.


There is also a Purple Zone, located at the front of the stadium at the top of Olympic Way. It is typically used by VIP and Hospitality guests, Club Wembley members, and some premium ticket holders. If your ticket requires entry via the Purple Zone, this will be clearly indicated on your ticket.


Bruno Mars Tickets – How to Get Them Now


All six Bruno Mars shows at Wembley Stadium sold out within minutes, but you might still get lucky:

  • Ticketmaster Verified Resale – Resale tickets occasionally appear here, sometimes at face value.

  • Check for last-minute ticket drops – Additional tickets can be released close to the show date. Live Nation has already released a limited number of obstructed-view seated tickets.

  • Be careful with third-party sellers – Prices can be extremely high, and there is always a risk of receiving invalid tickets.

When Should You Arrive?


Golden Circle


For a good spot near the front, I'd recommend arriving 2–3 hours before doors.

If you're hoping for barricade, many fans start queueing in the morning.


General Admission & Seated Tickets


Arriving 1–2 hours before doors is usually enough. This gives you plenty of time to enter the stadium, browse the merchandise stands, take photos, grab some food, and enjoy the atmosphere before the show starts.


Whatever ticket you have, always allow extra time. Wembley Stadium is huge, and security queues can vary depending on the crowd size. I'd also recommend arriving in time for the support acts.


Food, Water & Drinks at Wembley


There are plenty of food and drink options inside Wembley Stadium, although prices can be quite high  - for example, soft drinks cost around £5 and pints of beer £8. My recommendation is to eat a proper meal before arriving and then treat yourself to a snack or drink inside if you'd like.


You can also bring an empty plastic bottle (up to 500ml) and refill it for free at the water stations located throughout the stadium.


What to Pack for Wembley Stadium


Wembley Stadium's bag policy allows bags no larger than A4 size (approximately 21cm Ă— 30cm).


My concert essentials include a phone with your ticket downloaded, a power bank, hand sanitizer, tissues or wet wipes, and an empty water bottle.


Please note: Bruno Mars has a stricter camera policy than many Wembley concerts. Only mobile phones are permitted. All other cameras are prohibited.

Fun Extras


If you're feeling creative, bring a sign or small flag.


Support Acts for Bruno Mars at Wembley


Bruno Mars will be joined by DJ Pee .Wee and Victoria Monét for all six Wembley shows.


I'd highly recommend arriving early to catch both performances. DJ Pee .Wee does a fantastic job of getting the crowd warmed up before Bruno takes the stage, and Victoria Monét is an incredible live performer in her own right. They really set the tone for the evening, so don't skip them if you can help it.

Bruno Mars Fan Interactions


Bruno Mars has a couple of fun interaction moments that fans always look forward to.


During "God Was Showing Off", he brings out the Angel Baby Cam, which focuses on fans in the front rows. Bruno reacts to their expressions on the big screen, sings directly to them, and creates some of the funniest moments of the night.


Another great chance comes during "I Just Might", when he sings "But first, may I just say that your face got me so intrigued?" and often points to or acknowledges fans nearby.

If you're planning to bring a sign, remember that signs and posters up to A3 size are permitted at Wembley Stadium. Just be mindful of the people around you and avoid blocking anyone's view during the show.


What to Expect from Bruno Mars' Show


Having seen Bruno Mars live in Berlin, I can honestly say he's one of the best performers I've ever watched.


Expect incredible musicianship, powerful live vocals, impressive dance routines, non-stop energy, and one of the tightest bands in the industry.The production is equally impressive, featuring flashing lights, pyrotechnics, and confetti during several songs towards the end of the concert.


Whether you're a longtime fan or seeing Bruno Mars for the first time, you're in for an unforgettable night.


Bruno Mars Wembley Setlist (Spoiler Alert!)


Bruno Mars' setlist is divided into three distinct sections. The show opens with songs from his latest album The Romantic before moving into a Silk Sonic segment with Anderson .Paak featuring hits like "Leave the Door Open."


The final part of the concert is packed with fan favourites, including "Marry You," "Die With a Smile," "Locked Out of Heaven," "Just the Way You Are," and "Uptown Funk." It also features an acoustic medley with songs like "Talking to the Moon," "When I Was Your Man," and, luckily for us, "Grenade" too.

The impressive setlist lasts just over two hours and includes around 26 songs, striking a perfect balance between new music and Bruno Mars' biggest hits.


You can find the full setlist from Night 2 in Berlin (the one I attended) here.


Where to Buy Bruno Mars Merch at Wembley


Merchandise Stands Outside the Stadium


The main merchandise stands on Olympic Way open at 11:00 AM on all show days.

Additional merchandise stands on the external concourse (Turnstiles B, D and P) open at 2:00 PM, or 1:30 PM on Sunday 19 July, and remain open until 30 minutes after the show.


Merchandise Kiosks Inside the Stadium


Merchandise kiosks inside Wembley Stadium open at 5:00 PM, or 4:30 PM on Sunday 19 July, and stay open until 30 minutes after the show.


In my experience, the indoor stands often have shorter queues and sometimes a better selection than the outdoor stands. Merchandise purchased inside is also provided in a venue-approved clear plastic bag.


Bruno Mars Pop-Up Store


If you're in London during Bruno Mars' Wembley residency, don't miss the exclusive HELLO KITTY® x BRUNO MARS pop-up store. Fans can shop exclusive tour merchandise available only during The Romantic Tour.


Location

Vinyl Factory Soho

18 Marshall Street

Soho

London W1F 7BE

United Kingdom


Opening dates: 17–29 July 2026

Opening hours: 11:00 AM – 8:00 PM daily


No concert ticket is required to visit the pop-up store, making it a great stop before or after your Wembley concert.


My tip: I visited the Berlin pop-up store, and after waiting in quite a long queue, I found that many of the exclusive items (including the custom Berlin T-shirt) had already sold out. The store itself also wasn't particularly interactive. Of course, the London experience may be different, but if your main goal is to buy merchandise, I'd personally recommend getting it at Wembley Stadium instead.


Final Thoughts


Seeing Bruno Mars at Wembley Stadium is an experience you'll remember for a long time. Between the incredible live performances, world-class production, and the atmosphere of one of Europe's most iconic stadiums, you're in for a fantastic night.


Hopefully this guide has answered your questions and helped you feel more prepared for your concert day.

Most importantly, enjoy every moment, sing along to your favourite songs, and make some unforgettable memories.
