Maroon 5 Tickets

Short Biography

RETURN TO SYDNEY & MELBOURNE
IN OCTOBER!
Maroon 5 are rewarding eager fans by returning to Australia with special guests Evermore and The Cab, taking in Sydney for a very special and exclusive show.
Since their last Australian tour the three time Grammy Award winning band have seen their popularity grow to new heights with their latest #1 single ‘Payphone' (featuring American rapper Wiz Khalifa) storming the airwaves and clubs.
‘Payphone' is the lead single from Maroon 5's highly anticipated fourth album Overexposed (out June 22 through Universal) which promises to be the band's strongest yet.
Adam Levine's schedule is looking extra crazy as he continues in his role as coach on America's hugely successful The Voice alongside Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green.
Aguilera and Maroon 5 are no strangers after their collaboration on the 2011 smash hit ‘Moves Like Jagger' which topped charts in 18 countries across the globe and became one of the most paid downloaded songs in history.
Chart topping aside, ‘Moves Like Jagger' saw the band nominated for a 2012 Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and win the 2012 People's Choice Award for Favourite Band.
Joining Maroon 5 for these two very special shows will be the Antipodean brothers, Evermore as well as a band guaranteed to get you up on and on your feet, The Cab.
Jon, Peter and Dann Hume, better known as Evermore, first came to the world's attention with their striking track, ‘It's Too Late'. Since then, the band have released hit singles like ‘Running', ‘Light Surrounding You' and ‘Never Let You Go' and shared the stage with industry greats including Bob Evans, Split Enz and Pink. In October, they will add Maroon 5 to this prestigious list.
Opening the tour and putting the audience into party mode for the night will be Las Vegas three-piece, The Cab. The band has been making waves with tracks like ‘Bad', ‘Bounce' and ‘One Of Those Nights'. Known for creating melodies so infectious that you'll be singing them for days, The Cab are not to be missed.
Don't miss your chance to catch Maroon 5 and their very special guests!

In-depth Biography
Adam Levine (vocals/guitar), Jesse Carmichael (keyboards), Mickey Madden (bass), and Ryan Dusick (drums) spent the latter half of the '90s playing in the modern rock foursome Kara's Flowers. The Fourth World was their proper debut for Reprise, a favorite in the college market, but a change of direction loomed ahead. They left Reprise in 1999 and renamed themselves Maroon 5 with the addition of guitarist James Valentine. Levine and his junior-high pals spent the next years tweaking their style and playing various music showcases in and around New York City and Los Angeles. The independent label Octone Records caught one those shows and offered Maroon 5 a deal. Songs About Jane emerged from those sessions, finally appearing in June 2002, but it wasn't until the next summer that things started happening for Maroon 5. "Harder to Breathe" and "This Love" were top 10 on singles and by January 2004, Songs About Jane was certified platinum, reaching number 6 on the Billboard 200. A third single, "She Will Be Loved," appeared later that August, and the buzz continued to swirl around Maroon 5. (They somewhat ironically won the Best New Artist Grammy in 2005.) As the success of Songs for Jane was slow to develop (or rather, it was the rare 21st century album given time to develop), Maroon 5 had to issue some stopgap live recordings while they supported Jane and tried to think about new material. 1.22.03.Acoustic appeared in 2004, and Live at the Santa Barbara Bowl in September 2005. The band also supported the Rolling Stones for a string of dates in August and September 2005. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
