Clear Channel Announces iHeartRadio Album Release Party With Maroon 5 To Launch New Album, "V"

Special Event To Air Live On The CW And Clear Channel Radio Stations On Tuesday, August 26

Los Angeles – August 8, 2014 Clear Channel Media and Entertainment announced today the iHeartRadio Album Release Party with Maroon 5 to launch the global superstars' new album, "V," on Tuesday, August 26 at the iHeartRadio Theater Los Angeles.

The iHeartRadio Album Release Party with Maroon 5 will celebrate the band's new album, "V," set to be released September 2.  The exclusive event will feature an intimate Q&A, discussing the making and meaning of the upcoming album. “V” is a sonic summation of the group's journey to date-- capturing the essence of the earliest M5 hits through to their most recent successes, as well as providing a picture of its artistic growth in the future. The band’s new single “Maps” was released in June and quickly reinforced the group’s status as a powerhouse in popular music, setting a record for the highest debut by a group on TOP 40 radio charts in 18 years.

The one-hour special event, featuring Adam Levine and the members of the musical super group, will air live on the east coast on Tuesday, August 26 (8 -9:00 p.m. ET) on The CW, with a delayed playback on the west coast (8-9:00 p.m. PT).  An encore of the special will air on Wednesday, September 24 (9 -10:00 p.m. ET). In addition to the television broadcast on The CW, the event will air as a special one-hour broadcast on Clear Channel Contemporary Hit Radio (CHR), Hot-AC and AC stations around the country. 

"Clear Channel's iHeartRadio Album Release Parties have become synonymous with launching the most highly anticipated new albums," said John Sykes, President of Clear Channel Entertainment Enterprises.  "Now for the first time, fans throughout the country can watch this special moment in Maroon 5's legacy live on The CW."
