JANELLE MONAE, the American R&B singer, is set to embark on a joint North American tour with the GRAMMY AWARD winning BRUNO MARS. Monae and Mars will head out on the tour, dubbed 'Hooligans in Wondaland', during May and June 2011. The British singer/rapper PLAN B, a winner at last night's BRIT AWARDS (15th February 2011) will join the pair as support on selected dates. Before they begin the tour, both artists will head out on the road for their own European dates. Mars will begin his shows in Berlin, Germany on 3rd March 2011 while Monae heads to Brussels, Belgium, for a gig on 20th February 2011. The pair received a standing ovation for their live duet at Sunday's GRAMMY AWARDS, and Mars walked away with the gong for 'Best Male Pop Vocal Performance' for his smash-hit track 'Just the Way You Are'.
