Maroon 5 to Kick Off 2018 with Red Pill Blues Tour
Maroon 5, three-time Grammy award-winning band, have recently announced that they are going on tour in 2018 in support of their upcoming album Red Pill Blues.
The tour is due to kick off on May 30 in Tacoma, and will hit California, Texas and Florida in June. After the break in July and August, the tour will be back on the road with concerts across arenas and stadiums in the mid-west in September and then East Coast in October.
The tour is scheduled to end with two shows on October 14 and 15 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Pick a city closest to you and enjoy the new songs of this awesome band.
This 33-date-extensive tour is produced by Live Nation and is supporting the band’s sixth studio album produced by J. Kash and Adam Levine. The Red Pill Blues album is coming out on November 3 and its title refers to the science fiction term from the 1999 movie, The Matrix, taking the red pill or the blue pill. The guitarist spoke about their strategy around the sixth album explaining they had be experimenting with electronic sounds on previous albums but that this album will be more traditional and R&B influenced.
The album features special guest appearances by SZA, Julia Michaels, LunchMoney Lewis and A$AP Rocky. The multi-platinum band recently debuted the album’s lead single “What Lovers Do” and two other songs, “Help Me Out” and “Whiskey”. They’ll support the release of the album with a series of TV appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, TODAY and Ellen DeGeneres Show. Julia Michaels, hit songwriter and Republic recording artist, is featured on “Help Me Out” and will be the opening act on the 2018 upcoming tour.
We expect this long-anticipated album to be a huge success since their previous record from 2014 “V”, debuted at No 1 on the Billboard 200. It featured hits like “Sugar”, “Animals”, “Maps” and “Feelings”. In September, Maroon 5 became the most successful group in the history of Billboard Hot 100 when top ten entries concluded their two and a half year run supporting “V”, with 120 shows across more than thirty countries. So far, Maroon 5 sold more than 20 million records and 48 million singles worldwide.
