According to concert promoter Live Nation Korea on the 4th, Maroon 5 will hold an exclusive concert in Korea on January 27 of next year at 8:00 p.m. in Halls 4 and 5 of KINTEX Exhibition Hall 1.
Maroon 5 is a global band that has sold over 100 million albums and achieved more than 34 billion cumulative streams on Spotify.
Since releasing their debut album in 2002, they have gained popularity with their sophisticated blend of rock and R&B. They have topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart with numerous hits, including “Moves Like Jagger” and “One More Night,” and have won three Grammy Awards.
Last year, Maroon 5 released their eighth studio album, *Love Is Like*, which received critical acclaim for reviving the charm of their early music. They also released “Priceless,” a collaboration with BLACKPINK member Lisa.
To date, they have performed over 850 shows in more than 30 countries, selling more than 8.35 million tickets. This marks their first concert in South Korea in about three years, following their March 2024 performance at the Inspire Arena in Incheon.
This concert is part of their Asian tour. Tickets will be available for purchase starting at 12:00 PM on the 14th through the official ticketing platform, NOL.
Prior to that, an artist pre-sale will be held on the Maroon 5 official website from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM on the 12th. From 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM on the 13th, a pre-sale for Live Nation website members will take place.
