Who is opening for Bruno Mars in Santa Clara?
RAYE and DJ Pee .Wee are scheduled to join Bruno Mars at both Santa Clara concerts. Ticketmaster currently lists all three acts for October 10 and October 11. DJ Pee .Wee is Anderson .Paak's vinyl-focused DJ persona.
Arrive before the listed 7:00 p.m. start if seeing the full lineup matters to you. Individual set times were not posted in the official sources reviewed on October 6, so a schedule from another city should not be treated as the Santa Clara timetable.
What should fans expect from The Romantic Tour?
The Romantic Tour is Bruno Mars' first full headlining stadium tour. It follows the 2026 release of his fourth solo album, The Romantic, and brings his catalog into a stadium-scale production. Exact songs, guests, and local surprises remain part of the live show, so only an official announcement or the performance itself can settle those details.
The stadium setting is a different experience from the clubs, theaters, orchestra halls, and outdoor stages that shape Bay Area music. Expect longer approaches, larger security lines, and more dependence on a planned trip home than at a smaller venue.

Where should you buy Bruno Mars tickets?
Start with the artist's official tour site, the Levi's Stadium event listing, or Ticketmaster. Ticket availability and resale prices can change quickly, so a fixed price quoted days before the show may be misleading.
Before completing a resale purchase, confirm:
- The date: October 10 or October 11
- The venue: Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara
- The section, row, and seat
- Any restricted-view or obstructed-view disclosure
- The full checkout price after fees
- The marketplace's transfer and buyer-protection policies
Ticketmaster recommends opening mobile tickets before arriving and adding eligible tickets to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Screenshots are not accepted for mobile entry. Follow Ticketmaster's mobile-entry instructions before the trip, especially if your ticket barcode is not yet visible.
What do we know about the Bruno Mars x Hello Kitty pop-up?
Bruno Mars' official tour site lists a Santa Clara Bruno Mars x Hello Kitty pop-up for October 9 through October 11, from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. As of October 6, the location is still marked "Location Coming Soon."
Do not make a separate trip until the address appears on the official Romantic Tour page. If you visit on concert day, leave room for merchandise lines, travel to the stadium, security, and the opening performances. Stock and purchase rules may also change.
How do you get to Levi's Stadium by public transportation?
VTA has posted event-specific schedules for both concerts. Great America Station sits beside Levi's Stadium, making light rail the most direct local connection. VTA says extra bus return service begins after each event and runs for up to one hour after it ends.

From San Francisco or the Peninsula
Take Caltrain to Mountain View, then transfer to VTA's Orange Line toward Levi's Stadium. From within the city, San Francisco public transportation can add meaningful travel time before the Caltrain transfer, so leave a comfortable buffer. Confirm the final Caltrain and VTA return options before departure; the last connection matters more than the outbound trip.
From the East Bay
Take BART to Milpitas and transfer to VTA's Orange Line toward Levi's Stadium. After the concert, move toward the VTA boarding area promptly if your return depends on a BART connection.
From the South Bay
VTA's Blue, Green, and Orange light-rail lines, along with selected bus routes, serve the stadium area. VTA's event page lists scheduled departure times by origin, including Mountain View, Milpitas, Winchester, Alum Rock, and Santa Teresa.
Check the page for your concert date rather than relying on a general weekday or weekend schedule. Service alerts and return arrangements can change independently of the concert listing.
What should drivers know about parking and rideshare?
Drivers should buy parking in advance when possible and follow the directions attached to the specific parking pass. Stadium traffic patterns can route cars differently from an ordinary visit, and a familiar road may not lead to the assigned lot.
Levi's Stadium currently places rideshare drop-off along the bus stop south of Great America Parkway and rideshare pick-up in Red Lot 7. Accessible pick-up and drop-off are also in Red Lot 7, with staff directing guests to the designated location.
Use the stadium's parking information and rideshare instructions for the current map. Post-concert demand will be heavy, so agree on a meeting point before the show if your group may separate.
What is the Levi's Stadium bag policy?
Levi's Stadium permits approved clear bags no larger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, one-gallon clear zip-top bags, and one non-clear clutch no larger than 4.5 by 6.5 inches. Medical bags are permitted after inspection, and diaper bags are allowed when accompanying a child. Every approved bag remains subject to inspection.
The current permitted list also allows factory-sealed plastic water bottles smaller than 24 ounces. Prohibited items include laptops, coolers, camera lenses longer than three inches, tripods, and selfie sticks. Policies can change for a specific event, so check the official bag policy again on concert day.
What should you know about payments and re-entry?
Levi's Stadium is cashless. Credit and debit cards are accepted, and reverse ATMs can convert cash to a card. The stadium's current A-Z guide lists a $500 limit per cash-to-card transaction.
Re-entry is not permitted at Levi's Stadium events. Once you leave the secured area, do not expect to use the same ticket to return. In an emergency, speak with the ticket scanner or security supervisor at the nearest gate before exiting.
What accessibility and sensory services are available?
Levi's Stadium offers accessible seating, accessible parking, mobility assistance, elevators, family restrooms, and wheelchair service. The Sutter Health Sensory Room in the South Atrium provides a quieter space for guests who need a break from the stadium's sound and activity.
Accessible pick-up and drop-off are in Red Lot 7. Because some mobility-cart and shuttle details on the stadium site are written specifically for NFL games, concertgoers should contact Mobility Services at 408-579-4610 or [email protected] to confirm concert-specific arrangements.
What should you bring to the concert?
Keep the setup simple. Santa Clara can feel different after sunset than it did in the afternoon, and the walk between transit, security, seats, and the trip home adds up.
- Mobile ticket opened in the Ticketmaster app or saved to a mobile wallet
- Photo identification
- Approved clear bag or small clutch
- Factory-sealed plastic water bottle smaller than 24 ounces, if desired
- Stadium-compliant portable charger
- Light layer for the trip home
- Ear protection
- Loaded Clipper card, transit fare, or confirmed parking pass
- A saved copy of your return itinerary
Comfortable shoes are worth prioritizing. A stadium concert can involve substantial walking and standing before the performance begins.
How should you plan the day of the concert?
- In the morning, confirm the ticket, weather, transportation alerts, and current stadium rules.
- Check the Romantic Tour site for the Santa Clara pop-up address and any updated hours.
- Eat before entering the stadium and allow extra time for event traffic.
- Reach parking or the final VTA connection well before the 7:00 p.m. listed start.
- Open the mobile ticket before joining the security line.
- After the show, move promptly toward the correct transit queue, rideshare zone, or assigned parking lot.
The Bay Area has several very different event-day rhythms. An indoor show at Chase Center keeps visitors close to San Francisco transit, while a special event at Oracle Park follows a downtown waterfront pattern. Levi's Stadium requires a South Bay plan, and the final regional connection should shape your departure time.
What should you recheck before leaving for Levi's Stadium?
The dates, venue, listed start time, and scheduled lineup are confirmed. The pop-up location, gate time, individual set times, weather, transit alerts, and some event-day operating details can still change.
During concert week, recheck:
- The Santa Clara pop-up address
- Concert-specific gate-opening time
- Any published artist set times
- Mobile-ticket barcode availability
- VTA, Caltrain, and BART return schedules
- Weather for the hours before and after the show
- Bag and prohibited-item rules
- Parking-lot and rideshare instructions
The goal is simple: settle the logistics early enough that the concert still feels like a night out, not a chain of transportation decisions.

More Bay Area music and venue coverage
For a more intimate format, Candlelight concerts in San Francisco trade stadium scale for smaller rooms and chamber-style arrangements. The San Francisco Symphony centers a full orchestra in Davies Symphony Hall, while the Greek Theatre in Berkeley offers another outdoor concert experience with its own approach, terrain, and departure considerations.
