Due to phenomenal demand, Bruno Mars has added a second Dublin date to his upcoming world tour.

Tickets for the Grammy winning artists first Dublin show went on sale this morning and promptly sold out, with many fans disappointed that they could not secure tickets.

Details of a second date at Dublin's 3Arena have now been announced, with the star set to take to the stage on April 30, in addition to his concert on April 29.

Tickets are on sale now via usual outlets.

In Mars' recent Rolling Stone cover story, the singer admitted he sometimes feels out of place in a music world filled with streaming exclusives. 

"Sometimes I feel like I'm in the music business 10 years too late," Mars said.

"How many platforms do we have? Whose money are we giving to who? It's this weird game. You don't even buy songs anymore – it's just a subscription; it's Netflix

"And while we're in the process of figuring it all out, I'm here trying to make albums."

Meanwhile the singer should be well able to wow the Irish crowds next year after he recently got a lesson in the cúpla focal from 2FM presenter Eoghan McDermott. He first got the lowdown on how to greet the crowd at the 3Arena, namely "Baile Átha Cliath - Conas atá sibh?

Armed with that little bit of gaeilge, he asked if you learn a little bit more to get the crowd going and was obliged with a translation of "Ireland! Get the f**k up and dance!"

His reply: "That sounds intense. That sounds like we're ready for war right there." Here the full exchange here:
