The tour kicks off on 25 January and runs through to 24 March, hitting a number of American cities and three Canadian ones, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. The second leg will make up for the tree cancelled shows from the first leg in Hartford, Milwaukee and Tampa with more tickets in sale now. This run will consist of 28 shows presented by Apple Music.

After weeks of speculation who will join Maroon 5 at the marquee event for the NFL, Scott confirmed his participation. He will perform at Super Bowl LIII on 3 February 2019 in Atlanta, joining Adam Levine’s band who is headlining the show.
This year’s Super Bowl halftime performance was surrounded by a lot of controversy. Players were kneeling during the National Anthem, Colin Kaepernick tried to return to the league and the league is still trying to diminish the impact Beyonce caused with her 2016 anti-police performance of “Formation”.
NFL doesn’t pay artists to perform at half-time and even discussed to charge them because of its huge audience and many turned down the gig including Adele, Rihanna and Jay-Z. The Sicko Mode rapper seems to have no problem with this and will make an appearance at the Mercedes-Bens Stadium. There are rumours that Cardi B will make and appearance for Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You” performance.
