Before Bruno Mars Walks On, Anderson .Paak Works the Stadium as DJ Pee .Wee

DJ Pee .Wee is the name Anderson .Paak uses behind the decks. First Avenue in Minneapolis describes the act plainly as vinyl DJ sets, and its listing counts earlier appearances at the Met Gala, F1 Las Vegas and Coachella, which is a wide spread of rooms for an act built on a crate of records.

Every date of the tour

Live Nation announced The Romantic Tour on 8 January as Bruno Mars's first global headline tour in nearly a decade and his first global stadium outing. It opened on 10 April at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and runs to nearly forty shows across North America, Europe and the UK. The announcement named Anderson .Paak, as DJ Pee .Wee, for every one of them.

Live Nation introduced him as a nine-time Grammy winner and a Silk Sonic collaborator, and that shared history is the obvious reason for the pairing. One of those awards came in 2025, when the NxWorries album Why Lawd? won Best Progressive R&B Album, so the man opening these stadium nights arrives with a recent record of his own as well as an old partnership.

It is also the context for the movement on our United States chart this week, where the account .WEE MAN now sits at number #5 / 30 among 2,636 scored artists, with a rising score of 90.6. The number measures attention around a profile; the itinerary is what gives it weight.

Nights of his own

The afterparties are where the alias does its own work. The Toronto set at FYE Ultraclub is the clearest example we could confirm this year, and it was billed as vinyl only. The club work predates the tour: on 8 November 2025, DJ Pee .Wee played First Avenue in Minneapolis for Red Bull Directions, on a bill with Sophia Eris and Kwey.

The two kinds of booking ask different things of a DJ. A stadium support slot is played while a building fills, to crowds who bought their tickets for the headliner. A club night after the show is sold on the alias itself, to people who came for the records. The tour supplies the first kind on every date; of the second, Toronto is the only night on this tour we could confirm.

What we are not telling you

Our file holds no dated appearance for this account. Every date on this page comes from promoters, venues and the tour's own announcement rather than from our event ledger, so we cannot say how long the stadium sets run, what is played in them, or whether they are played from vinyl at all.

We also list him under the name his Instagram profile uses, .WEE MAN, which is why our chart and the tour's billing disagree. The score behind that chart responds to attention around a profile, its followers, its presence on other platforms and its movement against last week, and a stadium tour supplies attention whatever happens in the crate. We are publishing the movement because the itinerary behind it is real and can be checked, not because we have heard the sets.
