The Moonshine Jungle Tour received a positive reception from music critics, who praised not only Mars energetic and "genre-jumping" performances, but also his abilities on the drums and guitar solos, as well as the special effects. The show ended with Mars performing " Locked out of Heaven" and " Gorilla" in an encore. The show's set list consisted of songs from Doo-Wops & Hooligans (2010) and Unorthodox Jukebox and some covers the songs were performed by Mars, who was backed by an eight-piece band, The Hooligans.
As a consequence, The "Bruno Mars Act" was passed by the State Senate of Hawaii to limit all ticket purchases within 48 hours of the on-sale to the physical box office, but the bill died at the conference committee. Mars's well received performance at the Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show led to a frenzy in ticket scalping in several states, especially Hawaii. However, due to schedule conflicts, Williams was replaced by Nico & Vinz. In 2014, Mars announced an Asian leg and a second leg in North America, which featured Pharrell Williams and Aloe Blacc as the supporting acts. In Europe and Oceania, Mayer Hawthorne and Miguel, respectively, were selected to open the shows. Mars and his team selected Ellie Goulding and Fitz and the Tantrums as the opening acts for the first North American leg, while music video director Cameron Duddy was signed as creative director for the tour in North America. After an official announcement on February 10, 2013, which coincided with Mars's performance at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards, a promotional trailer and behind-the-scenes footage of the tour were released through Mars's official YouTube channel and website.
The tour supported his second studio album, Unorthodox Jukebox (2012), from June 2013 to October 2014. The Moonshine Jungle Tour was the third concert tour by American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars.
