Maroon 5 Bringing Exclusive Shows To Las Vegas In 2024

When bands have to choose where to do an exclusive residency, Las Vegas is always on top of that list of options. And that was the case for Grammy-winning band Maroon 5. Who announced recently that they were bringing a string of exclusive shows to the Las Vegas strip.

M5LV The Residency will kick off May 17, 2024 at the Dolby Live theater at Park MGM. A popular venue for other famous musicians' residencies. Aerosmith picked the theater for their Deuces Are Wild residency. And Bruno Mars is also performing there in 2024.

But his residency is all about Maroon 5. It will consist of 16 dates in May, June, September and October. Tickets went on sale December 9, 2023 and started to sell quite quickly. Which is no surprise, since the band has sold over 96 million albums worldwide. Not to mention front man Adam Levine just became the first artist on Spotify with 1 billion streams on a song as part of a group. He got that honor for his part on the Gym Class Hero's hit Stereo Hearts.

And those aren't the only honors the band, or the man who fronts it, have received. In January 2023, Moves Like Jagger became the #2 most downloaded song of all-time. And Maroon 5 was the first artist to reach over 3 billion views on a music video on YouTube.

Needless to say, this residency is going to be amazing. With hits like She Will Be Loved, Sunday Morning, and Harder To Breathe. Plus, Dolby Live is designed to give every single seat high-intensity visuals and amazing sound. And Maroon 5 has designed their exclusive residency specifically for the venue.

So, yeah. You might not want to miss this one. You can grab tickets for M5LV The Residency at ticketmaster.com.

There's something incredibly special about going to a concert and witnessing your favorite artists perform live on that stage. It's not just about the music anymore. It's about the whole atmosphere and the unique energy that fills the air. The experience can transport you to a different world, where you can momentarily forget about the stresses of everyday life and lose yourself in the melodies and beats.

One of the best things about concerts is the sense of connection and community they create. You're surrounded by people who share your love for the same artist or genre. It's like you're all part of this big, beautiful family. Singing along, dancing together, and cheering as one.

The people at concerts are just as fascinating as the concerts themselves.  When you gather thousands of music lovers in one place, you get a colorful tapestry of personalities and behaviors. It's a great opportunity for "people watching." And if you are an astute people watcher, you know that there are definitely types of people who you encounter at shows. Here, we break it down and list ten of the types that we seem to see at every show.

From the minute the concert begins, the die-hard fan's energy level is at an entirely different level. They are the first to rise to their feet, pumping their fists in the air They know all the lyrics, and dance moves. And they are fully immersed in the music. They are often seen front and center, singing and dancing with a lot of energy.

Concerts are seen to the social butterfly as an opportunity to socialize and make new friends. From the moment they arrive at the concert venue, the social butterfly exudes a warm and approachable aura. They strike up conversations with those around them, sharing their excitement and genuine enthusiasm for the music and the event.

These concertgoers are there to enjoy the music but prefer a more laid-back approach. They may not know every song, but they appreciate the experience and are content to relax and take it all in. You might see them nod along or tap their foot to the music, occasionally joining in during well-known choruses or catchy hooks.

For this person, attending a concert is all about capturing the perfect selfie or video to share on social media. They spend a significant amount of time taking photos, recording snippets of songs. From the moment they arrive at the concert venue, the selfie addict is armed with their smartphone or camera, ready to capture every moment. They meticulously plan their shots, searching for the best angles, lighting, and backgrounds to enhance their photos. They may even experiment with different poses, expressions, and even selfie sticks or tripods (if they can sneak them in) to ensure they get the perfect shot. They might need to be reminded that concerts are best experienced without a phone between their eyes and the stage. On the other hand, let them have their fun.

You know that person at a concert who just throws themselves into the craziness of the mosh pit? That's the mosh pitter. They're all about the energy, the excitement, and the physicality of the music. When the heavy tunes start blasting, you can find them right in the middle of the action. They'll push, shove, jump, and even try their hand at crowd surfing. It's like they're tapping into some primal energy, just letting loose and going wild.

This person has an irresistible urge to dance to the music, regardless of their skill level. If you're a "people-watcher," the worse their dancing skills, the more fun you'll have watching them. They can be seen moving to the beat with enthusiasm and encouraging others around them to join in the dance. An even if they're terrible, it's the thought that counts.

They're the ones who take fandom to a whole new level. The kind of person who lives and breathes for the artist or band performing. They're like walking encyclopedias of everything related to their favorite musician. They might dress up like the artist, have handmade signs, or bring special props to show their unwavering support. You can see that they've been rehearsing for this show for weeks. Or months. Or years.

This individual analyzes every aspect of the performance, from the artist's stage presence to the sound quality. The concert critic isn't afraid to point out areas where the performance fell short or could have been better. But they also make sure to highlight the artist's strengths and any standout moments that deserve recognition. They might even engage in discussions with fellow concertgoers, debating the artist's performance or comparing it to previous shows. (They might forget that they're there to have a good time.)

These individuals prefer to observe from a distance rather than actively participate. They may be shy or simply enjoy the music in a calmer manner, quietly enjoying the concert experience. While the more energetic concertgoers are dancing, jumping, and singing along, the wallflower tends to sway to the music in their own subtle rhythm. They're not the type to scream or shout, but you can see the appreciation on their face as they close their eyes and get lost in the melodies.

The party animal is an expert at making the most of every moment. Concerts are seen as an opportunity to let loose and have a wild time for them. They often arrive in groups, bring their own party supplies, and are usually the life of the after-party. They're not afraid to sing at the top of their lungs, even if they don't know all the lyrics perfectly. They're there to have a good time, and they make sure everyone around them is having a blast too. You might want to avoid them, especially during ballads. Unless you're into hearing loud off-key vocals (that may not even get the lyrics right).
