Bruno Mars brough the final night of Wireless Festival in London to an explosive close, battling downpours to perform a hit-packed set under some seriously threatening skies.

The Las Vegas showman rattled through hits from his two albums, as well as cover versions and tracks he had written and guested on but made famous by others, during his huge performance in London's Finsbury Park.

The 'Just The Way You Are' followed performances during the Sunday of the London leg of the festival by hip hop icons Salt n' Pepa, UK pop superstar Ellie Goulding and reformed rap duo Outkast. Weather was changeable during his show, with downpours soaking audiences waiting for his headline show. The weather eased as he opened his set with 'The Lazy Song', joking with audiences that he "finally gave you some sunshine so you can dance."

The show was packed with pyrotechnics and ended with huge, explosive firework display. As well as his own hits, Mars also performed a mash-up of Travie McCoy's 'Billionaire' (which he starred on) and Aloe Blacc's 'I Need A Dollar' as well as a mash-up of 'Our First Time' with R&B classics 'Pony' by Ginuwine and 'Ignition' by R.Kelly.

After dropping huge hits 'Grenade' and 'Just The Way You Are (Amazing)' at the end of his set, Mars returned to close the show with an encore made up of more recent hits 'Locked Out Of Heaven' and 'Gorilla'.
