Started among friends from high school, Maroon 5 has spent 11 years in the spotlight, but 2011 will go down as the year its pinup frontman Adam Levine has become a true superstar on his own, thanks to his work on The Voice. That work has in turn boosted the poppy band, giving it another hit single, “Moves Like Jagger” with Christina Aguilera. The band is touring in support of that and last year’s Hands All Over, sharing the bill with the so-called soul softies in Train. Wednesday, Aug. 24. Doors at 5:30 p.m. Merriweather Post Pavilion, 10475 Little Patuxent Parkway, Columbia, Md. Tickets are $40.50 to $75.50. Call 800-551-SEAT or visit merriweathermusic.com.
