Bruno Mars to perform virtual concert on Roblox: UAE time and how to watch

Bruno Mars is bringing his new single to Roblox this weekend. Here is the exact UAE time for the concert and how to join the 'Steal A Brainrot' experience.

Global superstar Bruno Mars is trading the stadium stage for the metaverse this weekend. According to an official announcement, the singer will perform a special virtual concert on Roblox this Saturday, 17 January. The event marks the debut of his new single, "I Just Might", and yes, you can catch it live from the UAE.

This isn't just a standard playlist stream. Mars is becoming the first artist to "pop up" inside the viral "STEAL A BRAINROT" experience, bringing a mix of music and interactive gaming to the platform. It joins a growing list of game-related entertainment crossovers, similar to the upcoming Fallout Shelter reality show we reported on recently.

The performance will feature two key tracks. First is the premiere of his brand-new single "I Just Might", giving fans a first listen in a completely virtual environment. He will also perform his massive hit "Locked Out of Heaven", likely with interactive visual elements that Roblox concerts are known for.

Beyond the music, the event is heavily integrated into the game mechanics. Players can collect exclusive Bruno-themed traits and a limited-edition "Bruno Brainrot" character to use in-game. It taps into the sort of viral social media trends that have defined online gaming spaces recently.
