Singer/songwriter announces performance in Columbia set for June 13
Grammy-winning R&B crooner Bruno Mars announced yesterday he will perform at the Colonial Life Arena on June 13 for the next leg of his “Moonshine Jungle World Tour.”
Tickets go on sale Monday at 10 a.m. — the morning after his Super Bowl XLVIII haltime performance.
The “Grenade” and “Just the Way You Are” superstar will be joined by soulful singer/songwriter Aloe Blacc, who sings on the Avicii track “Wake Me Up”.
Tickets start at $49.50; a student rate isn’t being offered for now, Colonial Life Arena Marketing Coordinator Aaron Pugh said in an email.
The performance will be Mars’ only stop in the Carolinas, aside from a stop in Raleigh, N.C.
It’s already shaping up to be a big year for the Hawaii native. He just added a second Grammy to his résumé for “Unorthodox Jukebox,” which was named Best Pop Vocal Album (“Just The Way You Are” won the same award last year). He’s also poised to light up the Pepsi Super Bowl XLVIII wuth a show featuring rock legends Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Tickets are available online through http://www.LMCtix.com, or by phone at 855-456-2849 (4-LMC-TIX) and in person at the Colonial Life Arena box office. They’re also being sold at Columbia’s Play It Again Sports store.
