Maroon 5 Kick Off Tour

Posted on 10/30/2009

Maroon 5 is gearing up to kick off its nationwide college tou . The multi-city tour will launch at Murray State University in Kentucky and make eleven stops before wrapping in Kansas at the end of the month. Alternative rock band Guster will be making a special guest appearance on the tour Nov, 14th for the Bucknell University show.

Maroon 5's college tour precludes the release of the group's new album, which is set for release in the spring of 2010. Earlier this summer the band announced that they have entered the studio with legendary producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange to record the follow-up to It Won't be Soon Before Long, their multi-platinum selling sophomore album. The quintessential pop-rock producer has produced blockbuster albums for acts like AC/DC, Def Leppard, Bryan Adams, The Cars, Shania Twain and Foreigner.

"After spending the summer in the studio recording overseas, we are excited to be returning home and to the road this fall," said the band's frontman Adam Levine. "It's exciting for us to hit the stage again together and also get a chance to debut some of our new material that we've been recording for our fans."

Capturing their first of 3 GRAMMY Awards as "Best New Artist" of 2005, and going on to sell more than fifteen million albums worldwide, Maroon 5 won over fans and critics alike with the hybrid rock/R&B sound they introduced on their debut album Songs About Jane. They followed up with the double platinum album, It Won't be Soon Before Long, that included hits like "Makes Me Wonder" and "If I Never See your Face Again." The band's releases have gone gold and platinum in over 35 countries around the world.
