Watch Bruno Mars make a surprise appearance for 'APT.' at BLACKPINK show in Los Angeles
The moment took place during Rosé's solo set on the second night of the group's concerts

Bruno Mars made a surprise appearance at BLACKPINK‘s recent Los Angeles concert to perform ‘APT.’ – watch fan-shot footage of the moment below.
On Sunday (July 13), BLACKPINK performed their second show at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. To celebrate the occasion, Rosé brought out Bruno Mars to perform their hit collaboration ‘APT.’ to close out her short solo set mid-show.
Rosé kicked off the song solo, performing the first verse and chorus on her own, before Mars was lifted onstage via a riser for his verse. The pair then shared a quick hug as confetti went off, and they ran across the stage while performing.
Watch the moment below.
‘APT.’ was named one of NME’s best 50 songs of 2024 and one of NME’s best 25 K-pop songs of the year. The song also scored a glowing five-star review, with NME’s Rhian Daly writing: “Truthfully, Rosé has never sounded as good as she does here. There’s a power and confidence in her voice that far surpasses her past performances, and the vintage pop-rock riffs and attitude – which echo with elements of Toni Basil, Blondie and Joan Jett – feel sublimely suited to her as an artist. Addictive, flirty and a whole lot of fun, ‘APT.’ is the perfect introduction to Rosé’s new chapter.”
Last week (July 12), BLACKPINK released the techno-inspired song ‘Jump’, marking their first release in three years. It was first premiered at the ‘Deadline’ concert in South Korea. The ‘Deadline’ tour will continue with a string of North American dates throughout the rest of the month.

August will see BLACKPINK tour Europe and the UK, including two shows at the Wembley Stadium. The tour resumes in Asia throughout October and December, including stops in Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines and Hong Kong.
The stadium shows from BLACKPINK mark their first headline tour since their record-breaking ‘Born Pink World Tour’, which ran between 2022 and 2023. Those shows also saw the group reach new heights as it was soon certified as the highest-grossing tour by a girl group – drawing over 1.8million fans.
Since BLACKPINK’s last album – 2022’s ‘Born Pink’ – all four members have explored solo careers, including albums by Jennie, Rosé, Lisa and Jisoo. Additionally, Lisa made her acting debut in HBO’s The White Lotus season three.
