Leon Thomas and DJ Pee .Wee, the alter ego of Anderson .Paak, will open for Bruno Mars during all five Toronto dates of the Romantic Tour at Rogers Stadium.
Bruno Mars is taking over Rogers Stadium for five nights on “The Romantic Tour” and he’s bringing some major musical talent with him.
Mars will be playing Rogers Stadium Sunday night (May 24) and will be sticking around in the city for four more nights — May 27, 28, 30 and 31
Leon Thomas and DJ Pee .Wee, the DJ alter ego of Anderson .Paak, will open each Toronto show before Mars takes the stage. Thomas is usually the first support act and will start his set around 7:10 p.m. with DJ Pee .Wee following at 7:45 p.m.
But who are Leon Thomas and DJ Pee .Wee? Let’s dive deep into Mars’ opening acts and frequent collaborators.
Who is Leon Thomas?
Leon Thomas is a musician, songwriter, and producer from Brooklyn, N.Y. Before fully crossing over into hip-hop and R&B, Thomas got his start as a Broadway and TV actor. His first acting job was playing young Simba in The Lion King. In 2010, Thomas got his big break, landing the role of Andre in the Nickelodeon sitcom Victorious.
In 2012, Thomas recorded and released his first mixtape, Metro Hearts, which included a cover of Drake’s “Take Care.” Between 2014 and 2025, he put out two more mixtapes, two EPs, and two studio albums (Electric Dusk and Mutt). Thomas has worked extensively with production group The Stereotypes, who have produced several songs by Mars, including, “24K Magic,” “That’s What I Like,” and “Finesse (featuring Cardi B).”
Is DJ Pee .Wee Anderson .Paak?
DJ Pee .Wee might sound unfamiliar to casual Mars fans, but take off the 70s wig, and he’s just Brandon Paak Anderson, aka, Anderson .Paak. This alter ego was born from his time touring with Mars as Silk Sonic as he wanted a way to show his turntable skills and deep musicality.
Over his 15-year career, Anderson has released seven studio albums, three in collaboration with Knxwledge and Bruno Mars as NxWorries and Silk Sonic, respectively. He has also won nine Grammy Awards, four with Mars in 2022 for their song, “Leave the Door Open.”
Don’t want to miss Thomas and DJ Pee .Wee’s performances on The Romantic Tour? Make sure to get to the Rogers Stadium for doors at 5:30 p.m. so you’re not stuck in line waiting to get in. Thomas will most likely be on stage for 7:10 p.m. and DJ Pee .Wee will follow at 7:45 p.m.
Bruno Mars fans in Toronto got hit with a rain check before Toronto’s first night of “The Romantic Tour” could even begin. Live Nation says tonight’s Rogers Stadium show has been postponed due to inclement weather and rescheduled to May 31, 2026. All tickets will still be honoured.
