MANILA, Philippines - Maroon 5 (photo) is returning for its third concert in Manila on Sept. 17 at the Mall Of Asia (MOA) Arena.

Part of the Grammy award-winning rock band’s World Tour 2015, the concert is promoted by Music Management International (#MMILive) and Live Nation. Tickets will be available starting March 6 at all SM Ticket outlets, www.smtickets.com.  

The band’s V album features Maps which set a record for the highest debut by a group on Top 40 radio charts in 18 years. Its second single, Animals, peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. The third single, Sugar, also made news when frontman Adam Levine and his band surprised Los Angeles brides and grooms on their big days with mini-concerts to shoot the song’s music video which now has over 125 million views on YouTube.

Maroon 5’s special guest is the Swedish trio Dirty Loops. Formed in 2008 while attending the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, the band had its big break when its version of Lady Gaga’s Just Dance became an overnight viral sensation. The band released its debut album Loopified on Universal Records in 2014, which has 10 original tracks including standout single Hit Me.
