Maroon 5 Tour 2026

Inside Maroon 5

Maroon 5 is the Los Angeles pop-rock band fronted by Adam Levine that has spent more than two decades writing the kind of glossy, falsetto-driven, radio-built singles that turn into the year's most-played airplay records and then stay on the wedding playlists for a decade afterwards. The project that became Maroon 5 actually started in the late 1990s as Kara's Flowers, a guitar-band quartet that made a single major-label record for Reprise before getting dropped and going back to college; the band reformed in 2001 with keyboardist Jesse Carmichael moving to keys, James Valentine joining on guitar, and a top-down rebrand around a new name, a tighter R&B-leaning sound, and a debut album called Songs About Jane that took eighteen months to find a radio foothold and then refused to leave the chart for the better part of two years.

'Harder to Breathe', 'This Love' and 'She Will Be Loved' from that 2002 record are still core to the setlist; 'Makes Me Wonder' from 2007's It Won't Be Soon Before Long was the band's first Hot 100 number one; 'Moves Like Jagger' with Christina Aguilera in 2011 turned into the kind of cross-generational pop monster that drags new audiences onto every Maroon 5 record for years. Three Grammys, a Las Vegas residency at Park MGM's Dolby Live launched in 2025, and a touring operation that runs arena and stadium dates on roughly a two-year cycle have made the band one of the most reliable headliners in mainstream pop — broad demographic appeal, family-friendly staging, and a back-catalogue that runs from the bar-band guitar songs through the EDM-leaning Overexposed material to the country-pop reach of 'Memories'.

Most recent studio release Love Is Like landed in 2024 and added new singles to the touring rotation alongside the deep singles run that the band has been collecting since 'This Love'. This page is the working guide to who Maroon 5 is, what the current tour and Vegas residency look like in practice, and which cities consistently come up on the routing.

About Maroon 5

Maroon 5 traces back to Brentwood School in west Los Angeles in the mid-1990s, where Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick formed a guitar band called Kara's Flowers that signed to Reprise Records as teenagers and released a single album, The Fourth World, in 1997. The record did not sell, Reprise dropped the band, and the four members went to college — Levine and Carmichael to Five Towns College in New York.

The New York years are the ones that reshaped the sound: exposure to gospel, R&B and hip-hop on radio and on the streets of Manhattan pushed Levine away from the alternative-rock palette of Kara's Flowers and toward the falsetto-led, groove-driven approach that would define the next twenty years of the band. The group reconvened in Los Angeles in 2001 with James Valentine joining on guitar, Carmichael moving to keyboards, and a new name — Maroon 5 — adopted to mark the reset.

Songs About Jane was recorded across 2001 and 2002 for Octone Records (subsequently distributed through J Records and then A&M/Octone under Universal), and released in June 2002. The record built slowly across 2003 and 2004 on the back of 'Harder to Breathe', 'This Love' and 'She Will Be Loved' before going diamond in the United States and winning the band Best New Artist at the 2005 Grammys.

It Won't Be Soon Before Long followed in 2007 with 'Makes Me Wonder' becoming the band's first Hot 100 number one; Hands All Over in 2010 carried 'Moves Like Jagger' as a re-issued single in 2011, the Christina Aguilera collaboration recorded after Levine and Aguilera became fellow coaches on The Voice and a track that has gone on to be one of the most-streamed pop singles of its era. Overexposed in 2012 pushed harder into electronic and EDM-leaning pop with 'Payphone', 'One More Light' (later retitled as a single) and 'One More Night'.

V in 2014 produced 'Maps', 'Animals' and 'Sugar', the last of which became one of the band's most-watched videos and a wedding-circuit staple. Red Pill Blues in 2017 closed out the original full-band era; longtime drummer Ryan Dusick had departed years earlier with an arm injury, and additional members PJ Morton, Sam Farrar and Matt Flynn rounded out the live lineup.

'Girls Like You' with Cardi B that same cycle became the band's longest-running Hot 100 number one. Jordi arrived in June 2021, named for and dedicated to longtime manager Jordan Feldstein who had died in 2017; the lead single 'Memories' had been released two years earlier and grew into the kind of generational ballad that ran past three billion Spotify streams.

Love Is Like in 2024 is the band's most recent studio record. Adam Levine spent sixteen seasons as a coach on NBC's The Voice from 2011 through 2019, returning for cameo and guest spots since; his public profile as the band's frontman remains the largest single demographic engine on tour.

The Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live inside Park MGM launched in 2025 and joins the stadium-and-arena touring cycle as the band's anchor live offerings. James Valentine on guitar, Jesse Carmichael on keys and PJ Morton on additional keyboards remain the working musical heart of the band alongside Levine.

Maroon 5 tour dates

The current Maroon 5 touring chapter rolls on roughly a two-year cycle, alternating between full North American arena and stadium legs, European arena swings, Asian and Pacific runs, and the Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live inside Park MGM that the band launched in 2025. The stadium-tier shows have anchored on football and baseball venues — Fenway Park in Boston, Wrigley Field in Chicago, Citi Field in New York, AT&T Stadium in the Dallas market — while the arena leg pulls into Madison Square Garden, the Kia Forum, Scotiabank Arena, the United Center, TD Garden, Climate Pledge Arena, Honda Center and the comparable buildings across markets where the stadium build does not pencil out.

The Vegas residency at Dolby Live, a 5,200-cap purpose-built theatre inside Park MGM with an end-stage configuration and a screen wall that wraps almost the full width of the room, runs in multi-night blocks across selected windows of the calendar rather than as a year-round operation; the dates announce in clusters several months ahead and tend to clear on the fan-club presale before public on-sale. International routing has put the band into The O2 in London, the AO Arena in Manchester, the Accor Arena in Paris, the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, and the Asian arena circuit through Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok, Singapore and Manila.

The headline show runs about ninety to one-hundred-and-ten minutes across twenty to twenty-three songs, weighted hard to the singles run from Songs About Jane through 'Memories' with the most recent record's material woven into the back half. Production scales from the residency's screen-wall video build through the arena's standard end-stage rig with a B-stage runway on most legs up to the stadium configuration with extended lighting truss and pyro punctuation on the bigger choruses.

James Valentine's guitar work and PJ Morton's keys carry the bulk of the live arrangement; Levine works the runway, the B-stage and the photo pit through the full set without backing-track lip-sync on the headline material. The grid above pulls the live schedule from Ticketmaster and updates as new routing is announced.

Maroon 5 tickets

Maroon 5 tickets are sold primarily through Ticketmaster, with the Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live routing through MGM Resorts' ticketing layer that flows into Ticketmaster on the public on-sale window. On-sale structure across the current cycle has typically followed the standard arena-pop pattern — official band presale on the morning the routing announces (registration through the Maroon 5 site newsletter), Citi cardmember and other partner presales mid-week, Verified Fan registration on the higher-demand stadium dates, and the public window on a Friday morning.

Arena pricing typically opens with upper-bowl seats in roughly the US$50 to US$90 range, lower-bowl reserved at US$120 to US$200, floor seats at US$200 to US$350 and front-of-stage premium packages and VIP tiers running into the US$500 to US$900 band on the higher-demand markets. Stadium dates push the floor pricing up; the Vegas residency at Dolby Live runs on a tighter face-value band given the room's 5,200-cap intimacy.

Official VIP packages are sold through CID Entertainment on most legs and include early venue entry, a premium seat in the lower bowl or floor, an exclusive merch item and access to a pre-show hospitality area; the higher-tier packages add a soundcheck observation experience. Group meet-and-greet experiences on most legs are available on the same VIP page but should be treated as 'rare and not guaranteed' rather than as a standard tier — official meet-and-greet allocations vary leg to leg.

Secondary inventory runs on StubHub, SeatGeek and Vivid Seats with Ticketmaster's own Face Value Exchange as the safer resale path on legs where the band's team enables it. Always buy from a marketplace with a buyer guarantee — third-party listings claiming an exclusive meet-and-greet that's not on the official VIP page should be treated as suspect.

Maroon 5 UK tour

The UK leg of any Maroon 5 cycle anchors on the country's full arena circuit: The O2 in London (20,000 cap, Greenwich Peninsula) for the marquee single-night or short-residency stop, AO Arena in Manchester (21,000 cap, city centre) and Co-op Live (23,500 cap, Etihad Campus) for the northern anchor, Resorts World Arena in Birmingham (16,000 cap, NEC complex) for the Midlands, OVO Hydro in Glasgow (14,300 cap, Clyde waterfront) for the Scottish date, and Utilita Arena in Cardiff or 3Arena in Dublin where the routing extends through the Celtic markets. UK onsales route through Ticketmaster UK and AXS with the official band presale a day or two ahead of the public window.

The British crowd is older on average than the US arena nights — the band has been releasing records here since 2002 and the audience has aged with the catalogue — and the singalongs on 'She Will Be Loved' and 'Memories' run as loud as any leg on the calendar. Resale runs on the standard UK structure with Ticketmaster Verified Resale and AXS Official Resale as the safer paths; uncapped third-party listings on viagogo and similar marketplaces are not guaranteed entry at the door in some jurisdictions.

Set construction, runway build, and runtime are consistent across the UK dates. Check the live event strip above for the active UK dates and current on-sale status.

Maroon 5 setlist

A current Maroon 5 setlist runs about ninety to one-hundred-and-ten minutes across twenty to twenty-three songs and is built front-to-back around the singles run that the band has spent two decades accumulating. The night typically opens with a high-energy mid-tempo cut — 'Moves Like Jagger', 'Animals' or 'Cold' have all opened the show on various legs — and rolls quickly into early-catalogue material that includes 'This Love', 'Harder to Breathe' and 'Maps' inside the first third.

The B-stage acoustic mini-set on legs that build out the runway typically pairs Levine and Valentine on a stripped 'She Will Be Loved' and a piano-led 'Won't Go Home Without You' or a deeper-cut album track from the V or Red Pill Blues catalogue. 'Sunday Morning' and 'Lost Stars' from Levine's Begin Again film soundtrack work appear on some legs as the slow-burn mid-show pivot.

'Payphone' and 'One More Night' anchor the back third with the bigger pop production hits, and 'Memories' from the Jordi cycle typically lands as one of the loudest singalong moments of the night — the song's three-billion-plus Spotify streams translate directly into a full-room vocal on the chorus. 'Girls Like You' usually arrives shortly before the encore break with the original Cardi B feature played from the recorded vocal and the room handling the hook.

The encore is anchored on 'Sugar' as the structural close — the wedding-circuit single still gets the longest reaction of the night on most legs — typically preceded by a cover or a stripped final ballad. Material from the most recent Love Is Like record is woven into the set on the current touring leg in two or three slots rather than dominating.

Check setlist.fm after the first night of any new leg for the current run order; fan submissions usually post within a couple of hours of last call.

Maroon 5 meet and greet and VIP

Maroon 5 VIP packages are sold through CID Entertainment on most touring legs, with the package tiers varying by date and market. The most common arena-tier offerings include the Early Entry VIP (a premium reserved seat in the lower bowl or floor, early venue entry ahead of the public doors, a dedicated check-in area and an exclusive tour merch item), the Front-of-Stage VIP (a premium front-area seat or floor position with the same early-entry and merch perks), and the Sound Check VIP on selected legs (early entry, premium seating, and access to observe a band soundcheck rehearsal ahead of doors).

Higher-tier offerings on selected dates have included a small-group meet-and-greet allocation — these tiers are not available on every routing, sell out on the first morning of the on-sale, and should be treated as 'rare and not guaranteed' rather than as a standard package available across every market. The Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live carries its own VIP structure routed through MGM Resorts hospitality channels with similar pre-show hospitality and premium-seat tiers but a different operating partner.

Any third-party listing on uncapped resale marketplaces advertising an 'official Maroon 5 meet-and-greet' that is not on the CID Entertainment VIP package page for the date in question should be treated as suspect — official band-team allocations route through CID for arena and stadium legs and through MGM hospitality for the residency, and not through outside marketplaces.
