Rock in Rio USA Festival: Bruno Mars Closed the Festival in Las Vegas, Covered R Kelly's 'Ignition'
In a stunning performance of the singer's "Uptown Funk," which has made waves across all social media platforms, Bruno Mars closed out the USA version of Rock in Rio, which took place in Las Vegas last Saturday.
The Associated Press reports that the singer, who has performed on stages since he was a child, kicked off his electrifying performance with an energetic drum set, which was soon followed by "Locked Out of Heaven," accompanied by fireworks that burst out of the stage. The spectacular performance drew energy and praise from fans in attendance.
The singer also performed his hits "Treasure," "Wish I Was Your Man" and "Just the Way You Are." He also did a few covers, which included R. Kelly's "Ignition."
Mars quickly riled up the Vegas crowd by twice asking them, "Who's gambling?"
The crowd was all over the place as the singer went down his list of pop-hits that brought the fans together for a fantastic night. Some crowded the stage, while others danced as a couple and some just tried to hold onto their drinks.
The Saturday event also featured John Legend, Empire of the Sun and Big Sean to keep the crowd moving before Mars took the stage to close out the festival.
The event was actually in its second week. The Friday before, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran rocked the stage with their list of popular hits. The crowd was all over the place and the event became a smash hit for American fans all around the country.
This is the first year the festival has been in the U.S. and on the night of its debut, Metallica and No Doubt took to the stage for performances that clearly put the festival in gear for a power-charging run.
Mars energetic closing show was clearly one of the biggest highlights of the festival with many fans having memories that will definitely last a lifetime.
