Maroon 5’s journey in music dates back to 1994 when they formed under the name Kara’s Flowers. Founding members Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden, and Ryan Dusick were still high school students at the time. In 2001, the band rebranded as Maroon 5, shifting their musical direction and welcoming guitarist James Valentine. Their debut album, Songs About Jane, not only propelled them to stardom but also earned them a Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2005. Over the years, Maroon 5 has sold more than 120 million records worldwide, solidifying their status as one of the best-selling music bands of all time.

Maroon 5’s arrival follows Dua Lipa’s unforgettable concert in Mumbai on Saturday. The British pop star created a viral moment with her performance on the viral mashup of “Levitating” and Shah Rukh Khan’s “Woh Ladki Jo”. Dua also expressed her deep affection for India, sharing how she always finds reasons to visit. It was her second performance in the country.
