One of the biggest concerts to hit North Texas in years is right around the corner. Bruno Mars brings The Romantic Tour to Globe Life Field in Arlington for two sold-out nights — Saturday, April 18 at 7:30 PM and Sunday, April 19 at 7:00 PM. With more than 80,000 tickets sold across both dates, the entertainment district around the ballpark is going to be packed. Roads will be congested, parking will be expensive, and Uber surge pricing will be real.
The smart move is to book a private chauffeur and let QTS handle the logistics while you focus on the show. Whether you're coming from Fort Worth, Dallas, Southlake, Plano, or anywhere across the 12-county DFW area, we'll have you there on time and pick you up the moment the show ends.
About The Romantic Tour
Bruno Mars is returning to stadium touring for the first time since his record-breaking 24K Magic World Tour ended in 2018. The Romantic Tour supports his fourth solo album The Romantic, released February 27, 2026 on Atlantic Records. Expect career-spanning hits — Uptown Funk, 24K Magic, Just the Way You Are, Treasure, Locked Out of Heaven, That's What I Like — alongside new material from the album including lead single "I Just Might."
The Arlington dates feature Grammy-nominated R&B artist Leon Thomas as the opening act and Anderson .Paak performing vinyl DJ sets as DJ Pee .Wee throughout the evening. A second night was added to these DFW dates due to overwhelming demand, making Arlington one of the most coveted stops on the entire tour.

Why a Private Chauffeur Makes Sense for This Show
Globe Life Field sits in the heart of Arlington's Entertainment District alongside AT&T Stadium and Esports Stadium Arlington. On a normal Rangers game night, traffic on I-30 and TX-360 is already heavy. On a sold-out Bruno Mars night with 40,000+ attendees per show, the roads around the stadium will be backed up for miles in every direction.
Parking lots in the area will charge premium prices and fill early. Rideshare surge pricing typically spikes 3–5x in the post-show rush window as every attendee requests a ride at the same time. The result is a 45–75 minute wait just to get picked up — often in the dark, in a crowd, after being on your feet for four hours.

GMC Yukon XL or Cadillac Escalade with professional chauffeur, climate control, and complimentary water. Ideal for date nights, couples, and small friend groups.

Corporate-grade motorcoach for large groups, company outings, or fan clubs making the trip from across DFW. Flat-rate pricing for large parties.
