THE VINYL GROOVE LISTENING EVENT: Wednesday, February 25th // 5:00 PM

Bruno Mars is dropping THE ROMANTIC on February 27, and we're throwing an early listening party two nights before. You're invited.

What's happening

This is getting together with people who care about music the way you do, hearing something brand new before the rest of the world and probably doing a little dancing in the aisles. When it happens we're here for it. 

We'll have prizes, giveaways and a full listen to the new record from start to finish. Get excited! Bruno Mars was just announced as the Record Store Day 2026 Ambassador, which means he gets it. Music sounds better when it's shared, and record stores are where that happens.

About the album

THE ROMANTIC marks a return to the sound that made Bruno Mars one of the most respected artists in contemporary music. If you've been following his catalog - from the raw funk energy of his earlier work to the silky production he's become known for - this album brings all of that together.

And you get to hear it first, with us.

What we've got in stock

If you're catching up on Bruno Mars before the event, we've got you covered:

• It's Better If You Don't Understand Black Friday 2025 
• An Evening With Silk Sonic - Bruno Mars + Anderson.Paak

Browse the full Bruno Mars collection here. 

How it works

Just roll in. No RSVP, no signup, no headcount. This is a record store, not a wedding.

You'll walk away with a poster just for being here (While supplies last). We're also giving away a few limited-edition items throughout the night - you just have to be present to win.
