Fuse and MSG Entertainment today announced that three-time Grammy Award winning band Maroon 5 will perform at the Beacon Theatre on Tuesday, July 27 at 9pm ET to celebrate the release of Hands All Over, the band’s first studio album in three years.

“Fuse Presents: Maroon 5 Live From the Beacon Theatre” will air live in HD on Fuse with limited commercial interruptions.

“We couldn’t be more excited to be doing this concert with Fuse,” said Maroon 5’s frontman Adam Levine. “The network has always been a huge supporter of what we’re doing musically and we’re honored to be joining the lineup of artists who have done this special with them in the past.”

Maroon 5’s third studio album, Hands All Over, is scheduled to drop on Tuesday, September 21 from A&M/Octone.

Produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange, well-known for his work with AC/DC, Def Leppard, The Cars and more, the album is a hybrid of rock, pop, funk and R&B.

On Friday, July 30, Maroon 5 will begin their summer tour, encompassing nearly 30 dates by summer’s end. The shows will feature special guests including Owl City, Guster, Kris Allen, VV Brown and Ry Cuming – all varying by state.  For more Maroon 5 album details and tour information log onto www.maroon5.com.
