The organizers also prepared flower bouquets as welcome gifts for the band.

Maroon 5 was formed in 1994 when original members Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden, and Ryan Dusick were in high school.

Madden and Dusick were then replaced by James Valentine, Matt Flynn, PJ Morton, and Sam Farrar, who now round-out the current line-up.

The group has received three Grammy awards to date, and they have sold more than 135 million records throughout their career, becoming one of the globe’s best-selling music artists. Their song “Move Like Jagger” is one of the most dowloaded songs of all time.

The 8Wonder Winter Festival is set to take place on the island’s Long Beach and last until Jan. 7, 2024.
