[UPDATE: Despite the fact that this date appeared on the band’s website for most of the day, according to Maroon 5’s publicist, the show never actually existed: “There is no date in AZ I was given the wrong info for our release and it was a mistake,” says the band’s publicist, Carleen Donovan of Press Here Publicity.”]
I was more of a Kara’s Flowers fan than the current incarnation of Maroon 5, but I still wanted to give anyone who is a fan of Adam Levine advance notice that the band will be performing in Phoenix at the horribly named Ashley Furniture HomeStore Pavilion (a.k.a. the giant shed at the edge of town) on September 17 with Train.
Not sure why that seems particularly blogworthy, but at least the information is out there.

Are they still coming to AZ? I’ve looked on their website and the two AZ dates have been removed…
Yep, they canceled. Actually, they’re saying the show wasn’t supposed to be on the schedule to begin with. Delightful.
Weird. I got a press release a couple days ago saying that Maroon 5 and Train were playing at AVA on Sept. 19, and Phoenix’s Ashley Furniture Home Store Pavilion two days before that.
Nope, you didn’t get that release. Couldn’t be.
Ava is still advertising this concert on their twitter
Did anyone know they played a private show for Best Buy employees here in Phoenix last september? It was at the Phoenix Convention Center… where was the boycott then? http://bit.ly/lJccq9
