Mario

The living R&B legend Mario, known for topping the U.S. charts with the classic “Let Me Love You,” is coming to Poolen

Get ready for a sizzling, body-moving musical masterclass when Mario performs at Poolen on May 15, 2025. For over 20 years, the American singer and songwriter has been a prominent figure on the R&B scene, shaping the sound of 21st-century American R&B with smooth basslines and his elastic, soulful vocals.

You can’t mention Mario without mentioning “Let Me Love You”, his mega-hit that topped the U.S. singles chart for nine consecutive weeks in 2004 and earned him two Grammy nominations, including "Best Male R&B Performance." However, Mario’s breakthrough came two years earlier with the catchy “Just a Friend 2002”, which reached the Top 3 in the U.S.

Mario’s first four albums—“Mario”, “Turning Point”, “Go”, and “D.N.A.”—were all major successes on the U.S. album charts. These albums were released through the legendary J Records, home to hitmakers like Alicia Keys, Jamie Foxx, and Maroon 5.

But Mario isn’t just bringing classics to Denmark. On December 13, his brand-new album “Glad You Came” will be released. With singles like “Space” and the title track already out, the album promises a smooth and funky listening experience—and an unforgettable live performance at Poolen.
