Fans of pop sensation Bruno Mars have good reason to rejoice with a second show added to his scheduled Manila concert next year.

.

On Thursday, concert promoter MMI Live announced via Facebook they have scheduled another show on May 4, 2018, “due to demand.”

The announcement came after tickets to Mars’s first show, scheduled on May 3, 2018, sold out in less than an hour.

Tickets for the second show will be available Friday, Sept. 8, at SM tickets branches.

Mars first performed in the country in 2014 for his “Moonshine Jungle” world tour.

Born Peter Gene Hernandez to a Hawaiian father and a Filipina mother, Mars shot to fame in 2009 after being featured on “Nothin’ On You” by B.o.B. and “Billionaire” by Travie McCoy.

His latest album, “24K Magic,” which was released last year yielded three hit singles, including the title track, “Versace on the Floor,” and “That’s What I Like.”
