INDIANAPOLIS – Grammy Award-winning recording artist Maroon 5 announced their participation in the 2013 Honda Civic Tour presented by American Honda Motor Co., Inc. The band is looking forward to joining forces with the popular vehicle manufacturer to bring fans the second leg of their 2013 tour. Maroon 5 will serve as headliner during the 12th edition of the tour and will perform alongside global superstar Kelly Clarkson Aug. 3 at Klipsch Music Center. Additional confirmed support will include Rozzi Crane. Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning Saturday at www.Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com “We are very excited to team up with the Honda Civic Tour,” said Adam Levine. “Kelly, PJ, Rozzi and Tony are all such unique and amazing artists. I’m really looking forward to hitting the road with them. Each night will be a great night of music.” “We are pleased to welcome Maroon 5 to the Honda Civic Tour stage,” said Michael Accavitti, senior vice president of auto operations for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “Now in its 12th year and arguably the biggest year in the Civic Tour's history, it’s another great opportunity to bring music and Civic fans together.” Capturing their first of three Grammy Awards as “Best New Artist” of 2005 and going on to sell more than 17 million albums worldwide, Maroon 5’s releases have gone gold and platinum in more than 35 countries. The band won over fans and critics alike with the hybrid rock/R&B sound they introduced on their debut album, “Songs About Jane” and their double platinum album, “It Won't be Soon Before Long.” In 2010, Maroon 5 released their third studio album, “Hands All Over,” which was certified platinum. Maroon 5’s latest album “Overexposed” has quickly reinforced the group’s status as a powerhouse in popular music with all of the collection’s singles quickly rising to the top of the charts. In addition to his work with Maroon 5, Levine has returned for the fourth season as a coach on the #1 NBC hit series “The Voice.” Adam also recently made his small screen acting debut on the new 2012 season of the hit FX drama “American Horror Story,” and has landed a lead role in the major motion picture film, “Can A Song Save Your Life” from director John Carney. Since bursting onto the music scene 10 years ago, Clarkson has released five studio albums (“Thankful,” “Breakaway,” “My December,” “All I Ever Wanted” and “Stronger”), sold more than 20 million albums worldwide, 10 million albums in the U.S. and has had 10 singles in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. She is the recipient of three Grammy Awards, four American Music Awards, three MTV Video Music Awards, two Academy of Country Music Awards, one Country Music Association Award and 12 Billboard Music Awards. Kelly spent last summer touring the U.S. and appearing as a mentor on ABC’s “Duets” as well as a guest mentor for Team Blake on NBC’s “The Voice.” Clarkson’s Stronger was recently certified Platinum by the R.I.A.A. and won the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album. Clarkson released “Greatest Hits – Chapter 1,” which features three brand new tracks, including current single “People Like Us”, as well as a compilation of some of her greatest hits to date. Crane was the first artist signed to Adam Levine’s newly formed, 222 Records. Crane can currently be seen on the road as a featured performer on Maroon 5's Overexposed World Tour. She also dueted with the band on "Come Away To the Water,” their contribution to “The Hunger Games” soundtrack. The San Francisco-native’s musical style artfully skips between pop, R&B, alternative, and hip-hop, crafting a sassy, sexy, and soulful sound of her own. Rozzi is no stranger to the spotlight, serving as the face for campaigns from both BCBGeneration and Gap.
