Bruno Mars and The Hooligans took to the stage at Capital One Arena on Sept. 30 for a set dripping with decadence, an unsurprising quality for a show part of the singer’s “24K Magic World Tour.” His second night at the arena brought his most recent album of the same name to life, outfitting the singer’s groovy, rhythmic-funk sound with every light, color, firework and magic trick that the stage could pull off.

The alt-band’s first release brings groovy vibes and romantic nostalgia.
