Maroon 5

Maroon 5 lands in Marbella on July 7, 2026, at the Starlite Festival - Auditorio Marbella, for a set focused on two decades of pop with soul and R&B accents. Formed in California, Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick began as Kara’s Flowers in 1995; in 2001 they adopted their current name with the arrival of guitarist James Valentine. Songs About Jane (2002) propelled the group with a collection of songs defined by clear melodies and elastic grooves. After Dusick’s departure in 2006, Matt Flynn took over the drums and the band released I Won’t Be Soon Before Long, Hands All Over and Overexposed—stages that consolidated their identity with clean riffs, a distinctive falsetto and choruses that stick.

Live, Maroon 5 typically alternates universally recognized hits with more recent cuts, playing with precise dynamics and guitar and keyboard arrangements that breathe. Levine’s voice steers a solid rhythmic pulse, moving between danceable moments and mid-tempo numbers, leaving room for sing-alongs and call-and-response with the audience without artifice. At the Starlite Auditorium, the group gathers its catalogue for an evening where the focus is on the song and the band’s chemistry, with a restrained stage production in service of the repertoire.
