AJR Presale Dates & Ticket Info: The Maybe Man Tour 2024
AJR, the electropop trio known for their energetic live shows and catchy tunes, is embarking on “The Maybe Man Tour” this spring. The tour, supporting their latest album of the same name, will see the band play over 40 cities across the United States, beginning on in Norfolk, Virginia, and concluding on in Washington, D.C.
The announcement, made in November 2023, marks AJR’s first arena tour, a significant milestone for the band who began performing on the streets in 2005. In a statement shared on Instagram, the Met brothers – Adam, Jack, and Ryan – reflected on their early days, recalling six-hour performances that yielded no money or fans, yet sparked a passion that ultimately drove them to pursue arena-level shows. They described the tour as a chance to “recreate the chance to fully escape and not give a sh** on the biggest stages we could find,” and to deliver a concert experience unlike any they’ve offered before.
The “Maybe Man” album, released alongside the tour announcement, follows 2021’s “OK Orchestra.” While the band’s signature sound remains intact – characterized by infectious melodies and layered production – the new album is described as potentially their most serious work to date, despite song titles like “I Won’t,” “The DJ Is Crying For Help,” “The Dumb Song,” and “Yes I’m a Mess.” The album’s themes appear to explore more introspective territory, a shift hinted at by the band’s own description of the project.
The tour schedule includes stops at prominent venues across the country, including the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., and Madison Square Garden in New York City – a venue the band described as a “full-circle moment.” A performance is also scheduled at TD Garden in Boston on , with Dean Lewis as a special guest, and again on . The band will also headline a night at Summerfest in Milwaukee.
Beyond the musical performance, AJR is incorporating a philanthropic element into the tour. 1 for every ticket sold on “The Maybe Man Tour” will go toward the non-profit organization Planet Reimagined,
according to information released alongside the tour announcement. Planet Reimagined, co-founded by Adam Met, focuses on training future climate leaders through customized fellowships designed to foster collaboration between researchers and advocates, aiming for measurable environmental impact.
Ticket sales are structured in phases. Artist presale began on at 1:00 PM EST, followed by a Spotify presale on at 12:00 PM EST. The general public sale commenced on . Fans seeking tickets are also directed to secondary market platforms like StubHub, which offers a 100% guarantee through its FanProtect program, though prices on these platforms may vary.
The “Maybe Man Tour” represents a significant step forward for AJR, transitioning them from smaller venues to the arena circuit. The band’s evolution reflects a broader trend in the music industry, where artists are increasingly focused on creating immersive live experiences that go beyond simply performing songs. The emphasis on visual effects and a desire to offer fans a sense of escape, as articulated by the band, suggests a growing demand for concerts that are more than just musical events – they are designed as complete, multi-sensory experiences.
AJR also has a show scheduled for at the Let’s Go! Music Festival in Spokane, Washington. This adds another date to their performance calendar, further extending their reach to fans across the country.
The band previously announced a “Somewhere in the Sky Tour” for 2025, but details surrounding that tour remain limited. The focus currently is on the “Maybe Man Tour” and delivering on the promise of a concert experience that surpasses anything they’ve done before.
