Speculation ran wild that Mars would abandon his classic singles in favor of unreleased tracks. Field reports from opening night debunked that theory within minutes. Mars delivered a high-tempo, 21-song catalog overview that leaned heavily on vintage instrumentation and extended funk breakdowns by The Hooligans.
The set opened with "24K Magic" transitioning directly into "Finesse," followed by mid-set piano medleys that incorporated snippets of "Grenade" and "Talking to the Moon." While setlist leaks suggested a full Silk Sonic acoustic segment, Mars delivered a streamlined two-track salute featuring "Leave the Door Open" and "Smokin Out the Window." For the encore songs, the production stayed true to form: Mars returned under heavy spotlighting to close with "Locked Out of Heaven" before wrapping the night with a brass-heavy rendition of "Uptown Funk."
