Background

On November 11, 2019, Maroon 5 announced the 2020 Tour was revealed, which will take place in South America.[1] The band confirmed more additional dates of the tour from November 19[2] and December 4, 2019,[3] (with North America), respectively. Artists Meghan Trainor and Leon Bridges, were announced as opening acts in the North American leg in the summer.[4] However, on May 15, 2020, the band announced the rest of North American leg has been postponed, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] The rescheduled dates will be billed as the 2021 Tour. In July 2020, Maroon 5 announced the dates of 2021 Tour, was revealed.[6] No word whether Trainor and Bridges will remain as openers to the band's upcoming tour.

Controversy

On February 27, 2020, the band performed at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival, a televised music festival in Chile. The presentation, which began 29 minutes late, was listed as "mediocre" by the specialized press, inside and outside Chile. The BBC said that Adam Levine performed the songs with "lack of energy and out of tune", adding that the disappointment of the fans increased when videos were leaked, when he was leaving the stage, showing him angry and saying that "they were deceived", that it was a concert for television, and that Viña del Mar is a "shitty city". That created an atmosphere of rejection inside and outside of his fans who were very upset by the words of disrespect from the band's leader.[7] Levine later posted on Instagram to apologized for the incident[8] and the band said it had experienced technical difficulties with the audio feed to Levine's ear pieces.[9]
