Maroon 5 to color campus

After an interlude in Australia, Maroon 5 will touch base in America again to perform at JMU. Wednesday, April 21, will mark Maroon 5’s first tour date in the United States since leaving the country.

“I like [Maroon 5’s] style of music,” sophomore Kristen Blanco said. “One of my friends went to see them, and [said] they put on a really good show.”

Maroon 5 and Less Than Jake will perform following an opening act from hip-hop recording artist Rahzel. The concert is promised to be an exciting one, according to freshman Jeremy Paredes, University Program Board director of public relations.

“It’s going to be a really fun show,” Paredes said. “There is so much variety. I’m really excited.”

Students also have said they are looking forward to the concert.

“I haven’t been to a concert in a while, so I’m psyched about seeing Maroon 5,” freshman Kristen Ondishko said. “My roommate and I printed up all the lyrics to their songs and taped them up on our wall — we blast the music and sing at the top of our lungs.”

Paredes added, “Maroon 5 is doing really well on the charts right now, and Less Than Jake’s new [compact disc] is good.”

Tickets for the show still are available in the Warren Hall Box Office for $20 with JAC card and $25 without. Tickets also are being sold at Plan 9 Music and online at jmuupb.music.com.
