Maroon 5 really loves the Philippines! The famous Los Angeles-based American pop rock band will be back in the country this January 2025 for their newest concert tour, “Maroon 5 Asia 2025.” This is their fourth visit here, at least professionally, because who knows if they did private tours in the Philippines in the past, right?
To be organized by Live Nation Philippines, “Maroon 5 Asia 2025” will be held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on January 29th. It was in 2022 when they last conducted their world tour in the country, apart from their concerts in 2019 and 2015. Get to know more about the event here, including reasons why you shouldn’t miss this.
Who Are The Maroon 5?
For those of you who don’t know, Maroon 5 is a pop rock band from California. Hearing a song from Maroon 5, you will easily notice the falsetto or high-pitched voice of Adam Levine, its lead singer, when hitting the high notes. Songs that make you groove like “Moves Like Jagger,” “Girls Like You,” “Sugar,” and “Lucky Strike,” as well as songs that will have you sing your hearts out, such as “Payphone,” “Won’t Go Home Without You,” and “Lost Stars”? Playing on the radio or randomly playing on Spotify? That’s Maroon 5. Their songs have always topped the charts, such as Billboard and MTV. Perhaps it was their song “She Will Be Loved” that launched them to stardom, especially since this song topped TV charts for several months, such as on MYX in the early 2000s.
The band is spearheaded by its lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Levine, who is married to Behati Prinsloo Levine, a Victoria’s Secret model, which is why Adam is also seen watching the Behati’s fashion shows and also once sang on stage as the Victoria’s Secret Angels walked the runway. Levine and Prinsloo have three kids.
The other members of the band are rhythm guitarist and keyboardist Jesse Carmichael, lead guitarist James Valentine, drummer Matt Flyn, bassist Sam Farrar, and keyboardist PJ Morton. Three of them, the original members Levine, Carmichael, Madden and Dusick, first formed a group in 1994 when they were in high school.
The Maroon 5 Asia 2025 Concert Tour
The Maroon 5 Asia 2025 concert event will focus on the band’s upcoming performances in Asia, unlike other popular concert tours recently, such as Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour,” which visited several countries worldwide.
“Maroon 5 Asia 2025 Concert Tour” will be organized by Live Nation Philippines, the Philippine leg of Live Nation Entertainment, one of the world’s leading live entertainment companies. This United States-based multinational entertainment company is behind the events of many popular artists, not just Maroon 5. These include Madonna, Kylie Minoque, Shakira, and so much more.
The concert tour will kick off in Manila, Philippines, and will continue to Jakarta, Indonesia on February 1st, Bangkok, Thailand on February 3rd, Tokyo, Japan from February 6th to 9th, Kuala Lumpur on February 12th, and concluding in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on February 14th.
According to Spotify, the setlist has “Animals,” “One More Night,” “This Love,” “Stereo Hearts,” “Lucky Strike,” “Payphone,” “What Lovers Do,” “Moves Like Jagger,” “Maps,” “Love Somebody,” and “She Will Be Loved,” among various others.
“We’re excited to be heading back to Asia in early 2025!” the band posted on their official X account.
The SM Mall of Asia Arena has been chosen to host “Maroon 5 Asia 2025,” which is a strategic location, considering it is near the SM Mall of Asia itself, as well as other luxurious attractions, such as Okada Manila, Solaire Resort and Casino, City of Dreams, and more.
The prices of the tickets have been released. They will cost from PHP 18,250 for the best seats to PHP 3,550 for general admission. Mastercard cardholders are eligible for perks.
Why Watch ‘Maroon 5 Asia 2025’
It Is Historic
It is not historic because this will be the fourth concert of Maroon 5 in the Philippines, but it is historic because it will kick off the entire concert tour of the band here in Asia. Adam Levine and his Maroon 5 have kindled a formidable bond with the country and the Filipino people, so it is your loss if you are going to skip this event.
It Will Feature The Band’s Greatest Hits
While there isn’t yet a really official setlist, users on Spotify and Reddit think that it will include songs, such as “She Will Be Loved,” “One More Night,” and “Stereo Hearts.” There hasn’t been a song released by Maroon 5 lately, so it is a nostalgic experience to watch this concert, especially if you have watched their previous world tours before.
It Will Be A Visual Spectacle
Sure, you cannot expect the same level of grandeur as those of the concerts of Madonna, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga, because Maroon 5 has a different target audience, but their previous concerts are known for having immersive stage setups and cutting-edge visuals. Still, you’ll be able to see dazzling lights, stunning backdrops, and a production that can be a sensory experience, considering that concerts nowadays are tapping the latest technology.
There Are Surprises
Expect to witness things beyond your expectations. Maroon 5’s concerts are notorious for adding unique elements that surprise the fans, such as singing unreleased tracks and inviting surprise guest appearances. With this event centered in Asia, you can anticipate exclusive moments that you have never seen before, even in other artists’ concerts.
It’s An Intimate Experience With You, The Fans
No matter how big or small the arena is, Maroon 5’s live performances have always been personal. Levine’s charismatic energy and those of the brand synchronize to engage the audience so the event will be unforgettable for them. If Swift is giving her onstage hat to fans and hugging them, and Ne-Yo is inviting people on stage, why not Maroon 5, right?
Filipinos are fun-loving people. They enjoy visiting shopping malls, going to the beach, and of course, watching concerts. Recently, the Philippines has become a destination of global artists for their concerts with the recent major ones including Coldplay, Dua Lipa, Ne-Yo, and Olivia Rodrigo. With Maroon 5 arriving here, the metro will certainly go completely wild for this pop rock band. It’s the best way to start 2025.
